it's been torn down quite a bit.
when we toured it several years ago, our guide said it used to be completely covered in marble, most of all that was taken by the church to build churhes elsewhere, she said the church also took the wall that is not there but realized at some point they should prolly not destroy it entirely so they stopped.
the remaining marble and the copper used to hook it all was pilfered by others, not a lot of concrete in there. it's built of very big stones, like pyramid type and size, that also has something to do with why it was difficult to pillage. also, not enough ww2 action around that neck of the woods to wipe it out like so many other great structures throughout europe.
