Illustrated in the postcard is the "Fountain Court" The palace is in an L shape around the fountain. The foreground is landscaping with seperate beds of flowers, a small palm tree with flowers around it, there are three such palms spaced around the fountain. The fountain is round with the nozzle seen in the middle of the fountain. There are many arches in this L shape with iron fencing between each arch. The middle ground is probably the first floor with many windows along both sides, some appear to be open and others closed. On the right side of the building above each of these windows are triangle couplas and then above this are round windows with small panes and decorative white iron or marble around each window. These do not appear on the left side of the building. The background shows the third floor with again a window above each of the previous windows only these are smaller, some are open. The left side of the bulding is just a small railing but spaced atop this railing are urn types with possible statues on top. Behind on the roof are turrets, chimneys and towers of other parts of the palace.
