The access hallway and the adjacent room correspond to the original access portal, which connected from the atrium through the arches, which were once open. Here, visitors had to wait to be attended to, and the poor would wait to receive food and alms from the friars. A wooden door separated them from the porter’s lodge, which was the place where the sacred space of the friars began. Here, the mural painting characteristic of the Carmelite College can still be seen.
