A small round temple rises above the natural theater on artificial rocks. It is dedicated to Apollo, the god of light and fine arts. Inside, the marble, lyre-playing god watches over what is happening in the natural theater at his feet. The Temple of Apollo can only be reached via a branched network of irregular steps or via the grotto-like passages in the rock substructure. Out of darkness, as it were, the path leads man to the light.

The Temple of Apollo is somewhat hidden in the park. In the center is the sun god with the lyre.

Above the open-air theater, a small round temple rises on artificial rocks. It is dedicated to Apollo, the god of light and the fine arts. Inside, the marble, lyre-playing god still watches over the action in the open-air theater at his feet. The Temple of Apollo can only be reached via a branching network of irregular steps or through the grotto-like passages in the rocky substructure. The path leads visitors, as it were, from darkness into the light.
