Ancient stone structure featuring a rectangular opening, surrounded by partially submerged stone blocks. The architecture includes weathered stones with visible stratification. The central pathway is flanked by stone walls, allowing water to accumulate in a pool, reflecting the overcast sky. This archaeological site is notable for its historical and cultural significance. A small patch of greenery with wildflowers edges the stone platform, contrasting with the muted tones of the ruins. |
