Gate of the Torre del Moro, Famagusta
Description
A low arched gateway is set into a long, rough-stone wall, with a rectangular panel above the arch carrying a carved lion in relief. To the right a large rounded tower rises, its masonry weathered. Loose stones and earth form a mound across the foreground, and the wall continues to the left, broken along its top edge against a pale sky.
English
A stone gateway with an arched opening sits in a thick masonry wall, with a carved relief panel above it showing a lion. A round tower stands to the right and a heap of rubble lies in front of the gate.
