Monochrome Historic Alleyway with Stone Steps

Create a black-and-white image of a narrow historic alleyway. The scene is dominated by tall, weathered stone walls that rise close on each side. A winding stone staircase climbs up one side, its treads chipped and mossy. On the opposite wall, faded plaster reveals the stone beneath, with small arched doorways and wrought-iron balconies. The ground is uneven cobblestone, damp and gleaming. A single old lantern hangs or sits at the end of the alley, casting a sharp pool of light and dramatic shadows. The camera angle is low and slightly oblique, using leading lines of the walls and steps to draw the eye toward a distant archway that fades into soft gray light. Emphasize texture: rough stone, cracked mortar, moss, and rain-slick surfaces. Render with high-contrast black and white, film-noir mood, subtle grain, and a timeless European ambiance.
