F rom the Hanging Gardens you descend via a ramp to the park and then go across to the Granite Terrace.
   The terrace was built in 1808-1810 by architect Rusca from pink and gray granite, on the spot where the Sliding Hill entertainment pavilion used to be in the 18C. Fifty years later it was ornamented with the statues (copies from antique originals) of Venice Medice, Apoxyomenus, Diana, and Faun with a kid. In the center of a square in front of the terrace is the statue of Apollo Belvedere.
   The platform of the terrace affords a wonderful view of the Great Pond and the Cameron Gallery.
