Cathedral of St Sophia, Famagusta
Description
The cathedral stands on the right of centre, a large, ruined-looking stone church with pointed windows and a tall tower. In the foreground, low dry-stone walls divide a flat, grassy field crossed by a dirt track. Palm trees and scrubby bushes dot the middle ground, and a few low buildings sit among them under an empty sky.
English
