What really caught our eye were the beautiful majolica tiles covering the columns and benches—each one painted with detailed scenes that stood out against the simpler architecture. We spent a lot of time just wandering around the courtyard, which is lined with lemon and orange trees. The museum was super interesting, especially the artifacts from the World War II bombing that damaged part of the complex. We also stumbled across the thermal baths, which were a cool surprise!
