Why Go
Planned as a garden suburb for the rich, it became a public park instead. Its monumental zone has the long, wavy mosaic bench of the main terrace, the colorful dragon on the stairs and the hall of 86 columns beneath.
The wider park around it, with paths and viaducts through the pines, is free.
