This picture shows the pavement of the Chapel of Mary Magdalene, dedicated to the encounter between Mary Magdalene and Jesus. The pavement is a modern copy of the original floor from the 11th century. It consists of two circular sectors indicating the positions, at the time of their encounter, of Jesus, at the point encircled by rays, and Mary Magdalene, at the center of three circles.
