The front is marked by slender paired pilasters, on a high pedestal and with Ionic capitals, which support an entablature with a plain frieze. The whole is crowned by a triangular pediment with molded cornices on brackets volute and circular with an oculus that opens at the center of the eardrum. Halfway up the front path is a high meander pattern carved stone. Lowest Tuscan pilasters with capitals mark the lateral facades crowned by attics, entablatures and gables a mum.
