Each column, door, window, and loggia tells a story steeped in religious significance. As we delve deeper into this photograph's details, our eyes are drawn to the meticulously carved sculptures and low reliefs that adorn every surface. These artistic expressions reflect both Christian themes and influences from Oriental art traditions prevalent during Asia's first and second millenniums.
