There are wells, statues and a false cave, with stalactites and stalagmites in the hill, Grotta del Buontlet.remained from the removal of the stone for the construction of the palace.At the highest point is the Kaffeehaus terrace, and at the top of the hill overlooking the Boboli gardens, Casino del Cavaliere hosts a rich collection of porcelain owned by leading families, including doctors and Savoia.
