Court of the Lions fountain with four rills

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.
