The Holy Steps outside the entrance to St. Gregory's chapel lead to Our Lady's Chapel.
All the frescoes on the wall are by the same artist of the school of Siena who painted the first part of the upper church. On the right, as one goes down, is the Triumph of Death.
Riding a horse full of life, a skeleton with long hair and dark pupils strikes a young man. Beneath the horse lie some who are already dead, in the background some poor old people ask in vain to die.
On the left a monk shows three young men the human body after death in three different stages. On the arch in front is the Baptism of Christ.
