Description
A fresco with squares and diamonds in green, blue, red, and yellow adorns one of the walls in the so-called Commandant's Headquarters. The black line indicates that the walls below the line were the original standing and above the line they are an archaeological reconstruction. Frescoes are painted on plaster.
