In the foreground, we see a group of men and dogs gathered around a small bridge, possibly an aqueduct or a thoroughfare leading to a nearby villa. The men appear to be engaged in a conversation, while the dogs seem curious about their activities. In the background, we can see the silhouettes of several buildings and structures, including a fortress and a monastery, perched atop the cliffs. The painting also showcases the rich cultural heritage of the region, with the influence of ancient Roman and Greek architecture evident in the ruins and structures depicted.
