Mosque of St Sophia at Nicosia
Description
In the foreground, tiled roofs of low houses, some with balconies and small windows, fill the lower part of the view. Behind them the mosque's walls, pointed arched windows and two tall minarets rise against an empty sky. Part of the building appears broken down, and a palm tree grows at the left edge.
English
