This large, circular room sports a balcony up above which spans the

circumferance of the chamber. The wooden balcony has not fared as well

as the rest of the library's marble, however, and sags dangerously,

its wrought iron staircase barely standing. The many bookshelves

lining the walls here must have been pillaged of their precious

literary treasures long ago, as they are quite empty, and no trace of

ravaged book can be seen. A tall archway leads out to the south.
