Description
This is the circular brick wall surrounding the inner terrace. A decorated stone dado with two tiers. Above them stone screens (with a floral design) are separated by pillars. Three pillars at the extreme right have retained their ornate capitals. These structural and decorative elements are repeated throughout the edifice. As will be seen in another image, the circular wall is separated from the rest of these elements.
