In the foreground, two enormous doors, decorated with large relieve carvings, have swung open to reveal a large, circular gallery beyond. The ceiling of the "round hall" is made to resemble the dome of the Pantheon; around the hall are niches for displaying colossal statues.

These enormous doors are the #Openings to the "Round Hall" in the Vatican Museums. The scale is enormous but hard to judge; the doors are about 5 meters tall. Inside are "niches for displaying colossal statues".
