An outdoor view of an overgrown, courtyard-like area at a multi-story, neglected brick and mortar building complex, once a psychiatric hospital. The foreground features a raised, derelict balcony or terrace edge defined by heavy stone balustrades with weathered, empty ornamental urns on stone pedestals. Below this terrace, a slope of unkempt, grassy and scrubby earth is densely packed with weedy plants, bushes, and several mature, dark-needled pine trees, their branches overhanging. The background is dominated by the main, U-shaped facade of the building, with layers of closed jalousie window shutters, arched windows, and balconies, all showing signs of water damage, peeling paint, and structural decay. Other nearby buildings of similar construction are partially visible to the side, all obscured by a tangled layer of smaller bare-branched trees and climbing vines. The overall lighting is overcast and grey.
Former psychiatric hospital, Italy
