The Empress’s seat
Having the mosaic of Theotokos on your back, walk straight ahead and pass through the imperial gate. As soon as you pass through the gate, turn right and you will see another gate leading you to a walkway made of stones. Walk-through that gate and at the end of the walkway you will see a small gate on your right. Here starts the ramp for the upper gallery. You will walk through this ramp to go up and when you get there you turn right and left. After a few meters walk, you will arrive at a balcony and in the center of the balcony, you can see a round green stone which is the empress’s position. Here stand and listen to the story of the 14th point of interest.
