    After the construction of the New Palace, the park, which had been in use since 1580, received an L-shaped ornamental canal with two islands as its new main axis. The smaller island, located in the axis of the longer leg, is now known as "Swan Island." The Greek sea nymph Thetis sits enthroned at its center.
