The ceiling of the 82ft (25m) high dome is made up of 1,700 steel brackets and 432 custom-made, gold- leafed coffered tiles of various sizes. The coffers are inserted with a special acoustic material that absorbs sound. Ambarisa was extremely adamant about having the best acoustics even though, aesthetically, ceiling frescos would have been more visually attractive.
