About This Place

Good late-day stop if you want colour and bigger views before sunset. Touristy, yes, but still worth it if you time it right and do not only do the obvious photo spots.

Location

Photo Tips

Photo tips
The terrace is classic, but side structures and curves are often more interesting. Afternoon light brings the mosaics out better than flat overcast light.

The viaducts and stone walkways are better than people expect. I like those more than the busiest terrace shots.
