One practical purpose was to suit the chapel's two primary user groups' differing access requirements. The bottom floor of the chapel was designed for wide public usage and was accessible from the street level. The top floor, on the other hand, was designated for the royal family and was entered by a separate door that led to the royal palace. This division of entrances allowed for more efficient crowd management, while also providing better privacy and protection for the royal family as they entered and exited the chapel. The division of the two entrances mirrored the medieval hierarchical social structure, in which aristocracy and monarchy had greater social standing than commoners. The royal family's separate entry highlighted their higher social rank, whilst the public's street-level entrance reaffirmed their inferior social standing.
