Archaic Wall at Kastelliana above Tsoutsouros

Description

This image is a closeup of a rough, rocky wall made up of blocks of stone with some plants growing over the top on the left side. The left side of the wall is made up of clearly cut rectangular blocks of stone like that of ashlar masonry, whereas the right side is rough yet features patches of smooth stone and does not have the same indication of stacked construction. The Archaic wall is located in the village of Kastelliana, South Crete, Greece, which is above the seaside village Tsoutsouros.
