Old Famagusta: the Cathedral masked by buildings
Description
The photograph shows the west front of a large church with pointed windows and a tall tower, seen across an open street. Buildings and a tall slender tower-like structure crowd the left side and partly mask the church. Trees stand in front of the facade, and a lamp post is visible in the street. One person stands at the far left, near a wall.
