At about two thirds of the façade’s height without the pediment touching the arch’s tip three joint stripes of serpentinite (replacing one alternation of white marble) separate the third tier which is dominated by an [[Oculus (architecture)|oculus]] of similar width as the portal. The roundel is framed by a square with [[spandrel]]s of reddish stone. Here, the vertical division of the façade in three exactly equal parts gets most obvious, while the actual half height is at the bottom line of the square.
