::Right in front of the Roman Soldier Tomb on the other side of the courtyard, lies the so-called Colored Triclinium. Its name derives from the fact that after the original painted stucco had fallen away the striking natural colors of the rock were left exposed in all of its beauty. This is a must-see, if you are hiking through Wadi al-Farasa. This triclinium is the only one in Petra that has carved architectural decorations on the inside walls such as engaged columns and niches. It served as a funerary banqueting hall with a bench to recline and eat on three of its sides (hence the Latin name triclinium).
