Abbey of Bellapais, Kyrenia
Description
Looking down a covered walk of pointed arches and ribbed vaulting, the stone columns and piers recede toward the right. The floor is partly in sunlight and partly in shadow. At the far end an opening shows a plain stone wall and a further arch in the light.
English
A row of pointed arches forms a covered cloister walk, with light falling across the stone floor at the far end. Through the arches, an open courtyard and a wall are visible.
