The garden is an oasis in the heart of the palace, an open, airy,
strictly dual-parallel rectangular walking area.  Throughout the rest of the
palace, every available square foot of land is developed, however the garden
has been left completely lush and prime.  The peristyle garden, which boasts
fountains, marble statuary, mural paintings and mosaic floors, provides
visitors with a pleasant and cool setting for causal walks and peaceful
relaxation.  The long garden extends north leading to the Imperial
Residence.
