It stands on a marble pavement. In the middle distance, inscribed by the opening of the triumphal arch stands an obelisk. Behind the arch and on either side of the obelisk are low, one story buildings with large arched niches and small round niches. In the facades facing the front, the niches are occupied by figurative statues.
