| The Upper Garden and the Central Pavilion[edit] | WIKI |
| This evidence suggests that the original garden was divided into perfectly equal quadrants but that the east-west path was moved south to its current position in order to accommodate the creation of the Central Pavilion. | WIKI |
| [98] This change would also explain why the east-west path of the garden is not aligned with the east-west path of the Lower Garden to the east or with the location of a possible pavilion on that side of the garden. | WIKI |
| View over the main water basin of the Upper GardenRemains of the Central Pavilion in the Upper Garden | WIKI |
| To the south of this basin, near the middle of the gardens, was the large "Central Pavilion" whose construction has been dated to 956 or 957. | WIKI |
| [102] The water basins may have been designed and placed so that any observer looking out from inside the pavilion would have seen the reflection of the sky in the water, while an observer from outside would have seen the pavilion reflected in the water. | WIKI |
| Likewise, the placement of the pavilion in relation to the Salxc3xb3n Rico meant that both buildings would have been reflected in the larger northern water basin. | WIKI |
| A pavilion may have also existed on top of it, with views over the Lower Garden from above, but not enough remains have been preserved to prove this. | WIKI |
