«The position is of exceptional beauty, in the most luxuriant plain of the world and with extensive gardens that extend to the hills; an aqueduct induces an entire river, which water the palace and its vicinity, and this water mass can be transformed, pouring it on artificial rocks, into a wonderful waterfall. The gardens are beautiful and harmonize very much with this district which is a single garden. "
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
