St Sophia Mosque, Famagusta
Description
The broken front wall of a stone building with pointed arched openings stands in the middle distance, its upper walls partly collapsed. Behind it a taller structure with a slender minaret rises against a pale sky, and palm trees stand to the right. In the foreground low walls, stones and scrubby grass fill the ground, and a flat landscape stretches toward the left.
English
