salon de los pasos perdidos.....

Salon de los Pasos Perdidos (Room of the Lost Steps) is by far el

Capitolio's most impressive room. 120m long, its columns are green

marble on gilt bronze bases and the Portoco marble floor is laid in

beautiful intricate design (and waxed daily). The arched ceiling (which

reminded me of the Vatican museum), giant french doors lining the

walls, huge copper lamps on carved copper pedestals and marble

benches imported from Italy all combine to make stunning effect.
