Mount Stuart great hall

The central great hall entrance hall is colonaded, built with Italian and Sicilian marble and alabaster.

Two walls are covered by tapestries, 33 feet by 13.5 feet, made in Edinburgh, commissioned in 1912, completed in 1928 with a hiatus during World War I.

The vaulted ceiling rises 80 feet and is painted with the constellations in accurate position and scale.

The upper reaches of the hall are lit by 12 stained glass windows in calendar order, each depicting a sign of the zodiac.
