In the center of the temple, there is Pope Pius V kneeling and flanked by his allies, the king of Spain and the Dux of Venice, giving thanks to Jesus Christ who blesses them from the top surrounded by the saints Peter and Paul on the pontifical shield, while four Angelotes carry the shields of John of Austria, Philip II, the SerenĂsima of Venice and Marco Antonio Colonna. Around the central floor appear the saints and protective gods of the victors. The whole temple rests on a large platform that four Turks support.
