The circular complex also houses an underground museum below the artificial hill - a truncated cone of 250 m in diameter. Red granite flooring as shown and stepped platforms lead to the dome and cubic sculpture of a sheild out of shot here. The steel flagpole is entirely covered with Murano glass panels fixed on stainless steel arms and displaying the national flag colours.
