Mosque of St Sophia, Famagusta, from the ramparts
Description
In the foreground, flat-roofed stone houses with small windows and a dusty, pale surface stretch across the frame. Behind them, a tall ruined church-like structure with a slender tower stands on the left, with palm trees and a low horizon of sea and sky beyond. The photograph is an old sepia-toned print mounted on an album page with handwritten labels above and below.
