cypresses
Tall Mediterranean conifers
Cypresses are evergreen coniferous trees with scale-like leaves and a distinctive columnar or pyramidal shape.
They're associated with Mediterranean landscapes and, since antiquity, with cemeteries and mourning—their dark, upright forms line graveyards throughout Southern Europe.
Tall cypresses flanked the villa's entrance.
