The eleven panels fill the walls of a room illuminated by two windows, one on the east end and one on the west. The room takes up the third floor of the Eagle’s Tower (Torre Aquila), at one time part of Trent’s defences. The dimension of the room is 6 x 5,8 m. The height of the frescoes is 3 m, the draped fabric painted below replaces the original wainscoting, which was painted with a sequence of niches.

The installation of a wooden spiral stair connecting the three upper floors of tower destroyed the scene of March.
