Description
Two ruined stone buildings stand across open, rubble-strewn ground. The left building has a pointed gable and a slender tower, and the right one is a partly standing structure with tall arched openings. In the foreground a long low stone wall runs across the picture, with scattered stones and low vegetation between the ruins. Small palm trees appear at the far left under a pale sky.
