Why it is worth your time
Hidden among the trees, the Echo Pavilion is the only surviving pavilion in the park, raised in honour of the goddess Echo. Its magic is in its name: the shape reflects and returns sound especially well, so your own voice comes back to you. A small, enchanting detail many walk straight past.
Croatia Atlas tip
Stand inside and speak or clap, listen for your echo bounce back; kids love it.
