1 – The garden in the small peristyle of the Great Entrance Hall. It is a very nice place with two flower bed divided by a lane. In the middle of it the flower beds’ hedges curve in two semicircles leaving a central space in which one decorative element might have been set, while four pedestals lined on the western side of this garden probably hosted statues. Today nothing is left of this.
