On the ground floor, there is a passage with a highly ornamented vault, supporting a small cabinet in corbel whose façade is decorated with four small columns carried by consoles ornate with heads and foliage. A central window opens the wall, as well as four small openings. Below the support of the central arch, two cherubs carry arms. The pediment above the entablature is decorated with a bas-relief, and surmounted by a cartouche bearing an inscription. The roof is curved, in a dome with four slopes. It is surmounted by a lead finial.
