The oldest surviving garden in the city, laid out from 1791 around a clipped-cypress hedge maze with a statue of Eros at its heart, ringed by fountains, terraces, temples and a romantic waterfall garden. It is calm and green, a half-day out for kids who like exploring. The maze itself is closed for restoration until early 2027, though the rest of the gardens stay open.
