The image is a black and white photograph of a large, ornate gate in the center of a square. The gate is made of wrought iron and has a large archway with two columns on either side. Above the gate, there are two statues of lions on top. On the left side of the image, there is a building with a clock tower and a statue of a man on top of it. The building on the right side is a two-story structure with a sloping roof and large windows. The sky is overcast and the ground is covered in cobblestones. There are a few people sitting on a bench in front of the gate and a lamppost on the sidewalk. The image appears to be taken from a distance, looking up at the gate.
