Guided Story

Imagine standing face to face with a goddess. That's the feeling you get when you gaze at the Juno Ludovisi bust. This bronze cast, a replica of an ancient Roman head, was originally from the National Roman Museum in Rome. Look closely at the delicate features. They are said to resemble Hera, the Greek goddess of marriage and family. Just behind you, a short walk away, is the magnificent Pillnitzer Camellia. Over 200 years old, it blooms vibrantly each year, scattering colorful petals around. This blend of art and nature makes this spot truly unique.
