The image captures the exterior of the Basilica di San Simplicio in Olbia, Italy, bathed in the warm light of late afternoon or early morning. A tall, stone bell tower dominates the left side of the frame, featuring two arched openings at its top and two clock faces. Adjacent to the tower, a portion of the church is visible, constructed from rough-hewn stone. This section includes a smaller structure with a bell and a vibrantly colored dome adorned with a yellow, red, and blue mosaic pattern, topped with a cross. In front of the church, a paved plaza with large, grey stone tiles stretches across the foreground. Several stone steps and a ramp lead up to the church entrance, which is a simple wooden door. A metal railing lines the side of the steps. To the right of the church, a metal bench sits on the plaza, and a mature olive tree partially obscures the view of a yellow building behind it. The sky above is a clear, pale blue. No people are present in the scene.
