content: Flights of stairs lead downwards to the transept from a hall at left and from the apse at right. The design of the center of the apse has been subjected to a correction. The statue of the goddess was originally intended larger than she was definitely sketched. Only the left side of the the apse shows a colonnade and a relief over it in the rear.
