I don't know the purpose of these structures, but thought they were quite attractive. Thanks to William Barletta for getting rid of a huge, ugly wire for me!

Another picture posted today, shot from the palace/museum, of a frightening road, which we subsequently drove down:

Sort of Gaudiesque design to that pavilion.

Yes, an unusual design. V.

perhaps simply breezy pavilions offering shade...crisp details make this an absorbing image...V

this image is in a way more attractive as its 100% a 'folly'; probably no purpose
