To this, the mezzanine in the church hall has his vertical facings made of glass and it is supported about a light steel structure, exempt from old church walls. Moreover, the separation between the church hall and the transept is carried out by glass wall, always with the aim of enhancing the suggestive visual of the former vaults. |
