Four streams meet—garden, paradise, and poetic space collide in stone.
Focus Points
- The fountain group: origins, restorations, and interpretations.
- The four rills: movement, sound, and proportion.
- Pavilions: light filters and layered views.
Bottom Line
It’s a diagram you can inhabit—walk the lines.
