Then we went into the Hall of the Army. I judge this to be where
the rulers held their meetings and discussed the subjects of
importance. Note the massiveness of the walls where the seats
are. This room and the remains enables you to picture in your
mind the one time grandeur of this palace. Those great pillars
that supported the great arched ceiling, with their engraving &
frescoing. most of that has been ruined by the elements. Victor
Hugo when in exile spent quite a while here - when he wrote one
of his books.
