In the elliptical room we find the Royal Presepe with a 40 square meter base, the Terrae Mothus collection is very important: here are collected works by great contemporary artists such as Andy Warhol. Outside the palace we find the Park, very large and full of fountains. There are 6 fountains and tanks dedicated to the gods of the Greco-Roman antiquity, within them we can also admire aquatic plants in excellent condition.
