A Ravensburger ArtCollection jigsaw puzzle, 2012

There's a special detail to be discovered on top of the wall

"The meridian is a straight line made of white marble on the floor, parallel to the North-South direction, whose aim was to measure the altitude of the sun at noon according to the meteorological seasons: the sun ray enters through a hole in the south wall projecting a spot of light on the meridian line."
