“Rear is as beautiful as the Front”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 8, 2012

The rear has beautiful steps and statuary. We only saw the facade. Did not see anyway for disabled to enter, but we did not attempt. It was very near our hotel and the Train Terminal.

“Amazing building.”

As you would expect amazing architect. Nice location and nice water features next to it. Take flat shoes and be prepared to walk though!
