The photograph is mounted on an album page. A rounded arch opens at the centre of a stone tower, with a small window above and a domed top. Walls of rough stone extend to the left and right, and a plastered building with peeling surfaces stands behind the left wall. The ground in front is bare and uneven, and a narrow pillar stands at the right edge.
