A Woman’s Journey Round the World

CHAPTER XIII
14/61

Several sarcophagi stand inside.
The second story consists of a large terrace, which covers the whole extent of the lower one; in its centre is an open airy apartment with a light arched roof, supported by columns.

Several small kiosks at the corners and sides of the terrace give to the whole a somewhat bizarre though tasty appearance.

The pretty domes of the kiosks must formerly have been very rich and splendid, for on many there are still to be seen beautiful remains of coloured glazed tiles and inlaid marble-work.
The third story resembles the second.

The fourth and highest is the most handsome.

It is constructed entirely of white marble, while the three lower ones are only of red sandstone.
