THE GROUND

It is also in Sixtus IV that the pavement should be paved. The study of the soil shows that the separation wall, called transenne, is not at its initial location since it is placed on one of six circles of the first part of the chapel. We must imagine the original position of the wall, a little closer to the choir. It is then better understood the ground of the paving: a walk from the main door to the choir, a square for this choir reserved for the priests. It can be interpreted as symbolizing a allée allée first, then as a break of the procession once the transenne has passed. It can also be seen as a labyrinth, which was used in the bogs of the cathedrals of the time.
