Above: An example of dozens of tile artwork placed all over the Monte Palace Gardens, made sometime from the 15th to 20th centuries, this one at the entrance to the Gardens.

1 is the Monte Palace, really a residence that became a hotel, and not a palace in the Versailles or Schonbrunn sense.

2 to 8 shows more views around the central lake, with the waterfall, and the water system which brings the water to the falls, plus the turret.

9 to 11 shows "Skipping Girl" by James Butler, 1987, plus a back door to the palace, and a turkey (and I don't mean me) roaming the Palace grounds.

13 to 15 shows older examples of tile artwork displayed near the central lake.
