Despite this, a park has been established on the site, allowing visitors to envision its former splendor through the remaining ruins. Additionally, an exhibition hall offers a glimpse of the garden’s ‘heyday.’ Some original structures and scenic spots have been reconstructed, providing a delightful place for relaxation.
