The simple and harmonious courtyard features superimposed open loggias and a closed second storey decorated with pilasters. It is said that the 44 granite columns were taken from the Theatre of Pompey (ded. 55 BC) and that stones from the Colosseum were used for general building purposes. The photo shows the courtyard.
