The Great Sept of Baelor is named after the septon king baelor the blessed. It is located at the top of Visenya's Hill, surrounded by a white marble plaza. It features a statue of Baelor, which stands tall and serene upon his plinth; his face is a study of benevolence and large gardens, capable of holding hundreds surround the sept.
The sept itself is an impressive marble domed structure, it has seven crystal towers, each of which has bells. only on momentous occasions, such as the death of a king, are all of them rung. There are several sets of doors leading into the sept, septons use the father's doors, septas the mother's doors and silent sisters the stranger's doors. Around the doors leading into the building is a raised marble pulpit from which a septon can address a gathering crowd.
Past the doors is the entrance hall of the sept, which is known as the hall of lamps. Those entering the hall walk beneath suspended globes of colored leaded glass. Through the double-doors is the sept-proper, with seven broad aisles which meet beneath the dome of glass, gold, and crystal. Its floors made out of marble and great windows of leaded, colored glass, and the seven altars are set about with candles.Different altars are used for different ceremonies, depending on their purpose. For example, marriages are always conducted at the altar between two towering gilded statues of the father and the mother.[6] below are tombs where kings are laid to rest, cells for penitents, and vaults that hold costly vestments, rings, crystal crowns, and other treasures of the faith.
