The hall measures 40 metres long, 18 metres wide, and 12 metres high with its walls decorated with tapestries depicting scenes from the Crusades. The room is adorned with gilded furniture, statues of famous kings, marble columns and crystal chandeliers. At the centre of the room stands a large bronze fountain in the shape of a globe surrounded by four figures representing victory, glory, justice and wisdom.
