From the ball game you can enjoy a view of the Capuchins and the ball game tower, although in midsummer it is largely obscured by the foliage of the trees.

Only open on Saturday and Sunday and by reservation. Unfortunately it also looks pretty run down. And there are so-called slow food events for 2024 - all on pre-order.
