Cella di San Giovanni di Matha
The cell occupied by St John of Matha is over the Arch of Dolabella. The chapel is very small. It is entered through an arched portal in a yellowish-white-in-grey brecciated marble. The interior walls are revetted in the same brecciated marble. The floor is in a yellow marble, with a deep red marble border. The sanctuary platform is in red marble inlaid with diaper square white tiles in a chequerboard pattern. Above the altar is a shallow round-headed niche in vermillion red, in which a portrait in oils of the saint is hung.
