Semi-circular Walls and Steps leading to Canal Terrace

The structure consists of semi-circular curved rubble retaining walls and steps leading to the Canal Terrace, dating from the 19th century. The walls are built in two tiers and feature sandstone steps arranged in two flights of 16 steps each. The steps are equipped with coped parapets, while the walls include a series of plain flat buttresses. The lower tier has a central bench recess, and the upper tier features a bowed pergola walk or viewing terrace, which has recessed seats at either end within slate-roofed niches.

The retaining wall extends for two straight bays to the north and south, each with two large stepped buttresses. In the center at the bottom, there is an advanced flight of 8 steps leading up to the level of the Canal Terrace. This terrace is flanked by low, curved walls that sweep forward to create a concave space, contrasting with the main convex walls. At the top of the steps, two stone sphinx figures sit atop plain plinth-piers. The concave flanking walls to the north and south return in a straight line parallel to the Canal Terrace, functioning as retaining walls that are approximately 1.5 meters high and feature plain regularly-spaced flat buttresses.
