Pictures of the park in back of the castle

Here are some pictures of the park in back of the castle.  The long alley of fountains and water ways stretches 3 kilometers.  There are beautiful statues, fountains, waterfalls, and walkways flanked by lawns and trees.  They built an incredible 42 km aqueduct by drilling through 4 mountains, in order to bring water to the lakes and water ways.  They keep up the park beautifully.  There was a lake built to have fake ship battles for the entertainment for the kings and their courts. This was all built in the mid 1700's.  We had a picnic amongst the trees that line the water way. I brought all the fixings for a salad bar.
