[3] The king’s throne: luxury and power

The royal throne is located on the western wall, opposite the sanctuary. It is Romanesque in style, raised by five steps and decorated with opus sectile marble. Touching the cold marble, the porphyry stands out among all of them, a material that over the centuries became a symbol of strength and glory and that, in the throne, takes on a value of exaltation of power.
