The marble layers were put back in place, but one change was made in the shrine's inner sanctum. A small window was cut into one of the shrine's walls. So for the first time, visitors get a glimpse of what's behind the original rock wall of what tradition says is Jesus' tomb.

The gallery and partition of the tower was removed, likewise the "horrid" windows were replaced by new stone windows of respectable Victorian gothic, whilst another window was cut into the centre of the south aisle wall.

agree mike23 : / I know. I prefer today's defenestration from public office although some of them should rather have it in the Prague style.
