The hall can be used for various events and offers flexible seating arrangements depending on the type of event. It is best explored in person to fully appreciate the room layout and ceiling design.
The ceiling frescoes of the hall contain hidden detail drawings of the original building that serve as a visual record from the 18th century. This artistic documentation makes the fresco painting both decorative and historically valuable for understanding the room's structure.
