Bellapais, Kyrenia
Description
The grey stone walls of a large ruined building fill the frame, with pointed-arched windows and tall vertical buttresses. The walls stop at a broken edge against a pale sky. Dense shrubs and trees grow along the steep slope below, and a round window opening sits on the lower right. The printed caption at the bottom reads Bella-Paise Kyrenia - Cyprus.
English
Tall stone walls with rows of narrow windows rise above a steep bank of shrubs at Bellapais in Kyrenia. A circular carved window is visible on the right side of the lower wall.
