Neo-Jacobean Gateway and Adjoining Walls to the NE of the Central Piazza

The Neo-Jacobean gateway and adjoining walls, located to the northeast of the central piazza, are constructed of rubble and stand approximately 2 meters high on the roadside and 3 meters high on the piazza side. These walls connect the Gloriette with the Colonnade. A short distance east of the Gloriette, the wall features a well-detailed neo-Jacobean archway. This arch has a rusticated design and an entablature with a strapwork cartouche above, flanked by obelisk finials. A flight of 8 stone slab steps leads down to the central piazza through the archway from the road. The walls slope up to the arch on either side and are topped with stone ball finials at their highest points. Between this archway and the Colonnade to the southeast, there is a break in the wall that includes a wrought-iron balcony and flanking square piers, which are also topped with stone ball finials.
