A mosaic wonder

The starry ceiling, made out of little pieces of glass characterizes this beautiful mausoleum.

A view from the inside

The iconography developed in all the decor represents the victory of life over the death.

Alabaster's window

Besides the mosaics I was impressed by the alabaster's windows....beautiful light passing through them!.
