The image shows an aerial view of a cathedral and the surrounding town. The vantage point is from above, offering a detailed look at the cathedral's architectural features, such as its towers, roof arches, and numerous windows. The horizon is placed relatively high in the image, where a row of buildings lines against a body of water. The image is a lithograph with precise lines forming textures and details. The color palette is monochromatic with shades of brown and beige. Closest to us is the cathedral dominating the view, with tiled rooftops of smaller buildings around it. In the distance, the sea adds to the scene.
