content: The plan of the structure is octangonal. It has an enormous dome and is surrounded by water, with protruding bastions at its corners. The stream is surrounding the structure; four rowing boats, one of them loaded with sacks. Two sailing ships. In the background are the outlines of what seems to be a wall or mountains.
