Aula Gotica dei Santi Quattro Coronati
Historic site · Celio, Italy
A hall in the cardinal's palace of the Santi Quattro Coronati whose walls and vaults carry 300 square metres of thirteenth-century painting, which Roma Capitale suggests may have been the courtroom of an ecclesiastical tribunal; the profane scenes are by the Terzo Maestro di Anagni.
