Inside there are two rooms, one with a quatrefoil floor plan and the other circular, the latter crowned by a cupola that is covered with the remains of mosaics depicting hunting scenes, scenes from the Old Testament and allegories of the seasons of the year.It is part of the monumental ensemble of Tarraco, which was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO.
