Colour photograph depicting a neighbourhood in the city of Mytilene, Lesvos, photographed by G. Depollas. Two-storey traditional houses with tiled roofs, plastered façades, and wooden window frames spread amphitheatrically across the slope of the Castle hill. Among the dense building fabric, retaining walls and stepped passageways connecting different levels of the settlement are visible, while abundant vegetation dominates the foreground and continues across the hillside.
