Hello, how beautiful the place, old things have a lot to see and appreciate, as you say the columns are spectacular and the coating that was used before, marble, gold leaf, the filigree and the style.
They are great jewels that we have to take care of so that they last for many years and the new and future generations, know that art has existed for a long time.
happy day friend
