The Middle Halls

Location from Piranesi by Susanna Clarke

The habitable heart of the House — dry marble galleries above the tide line where Piranesi has made his home among the statues, warmed by a sourceless light.

Also known as: The Dry Halls, Piranesi's Halls

What They Know

• Safe from all but the most extreme spring tides, which can occasionally send water surging up into the lower reaches of the Middle Halls
• Piranesi has established camp here with dried food stores, fresh water carried from the Upper Halls, journals, and tools fashioned from what the tides bring
• The meetings with the Other always take place in a specific hall in this zone — the same hall, at the same time, on the same days
