"Upon entering il, it appeared 10 me
like one mass of gold for the interior,
which as well as the exterior, is of stone,
was entirely gilt The building seemed
TO be about 200 feet long, on each side of
which are several arches, each OF which
may be considered as church, as they all
have affairs. At the head Of the church are
two marble figures about II feet in height,
sne representing our Saviour, the other St.
John baptizing him. The floors OF the
church, and the floors Of The arches are COM
posed of marble slabs, each slab containing
The arms ola knight, with an appropriate
inscription in Latin. These marbles are
white, and the arms and inscriptions DIVA
rious colored marble set into them. Each
knight is inferred under separate marble.
The chief altar has sublime appearance.
II is composed Of the most beautiful lava,
and highly onamented. The keeper Of
the church led us to a vault in which three Of
the principal knights are inferred. One Of
