Tracing back to the Peristyle and go south and walk up (and not down), we entered the vestibule, a grand entry to Diocletian's living quarters
The ceiling used to be capped by a dome (collapsed) and it was covered with frescoes and mosaics
The other side of the Vestibule if we turn around 180 degrees. The Vestibule is now the perfect place for some acoustic performance. I missed their performance but you could always buy the CD here
