Western Transept - - - (-------------------------------------------------) W <---(M)---> E - S - Marble-incrusted geometric designs stress the horizontal elements of this transept. The tall horizontal roof line extends west, and is interrupted by the dome to your east. This careful balancing of vertical against horizontal elements has achieved a quality of restful stability that makes this transept one of the most satisfying and memorable features of the palace.
