A view from the mezzanine floor behind the beautiful railing made of rosewood with inlaid patterns of ebony. This was one the balconies where the orchestra played during the many concerts organised in the palace. Below metal-plated doors are open to an in-built altar for religious ceremonies. © Diego Ferrari/Grand Tour Magazine
