Among the buildings the most beautiful is the Pachyderm House built in the shape of an Indian temple. It is a long building, crowned by two large towers with flaming gold coloured suns, and 8 small towers, entirely covered with phantastic, gold and coloured mosaics. The very spacious interior has two rows of large pillars adorned by colossal elephant heads. There are two large enclosures for elephants, 5 for rhinos, and also those for hippopotamuses and tapirs together with basins.
