Located on a terrace overlooking an artificial waterfall, with water eventually flowing into a canal sloping gently towards a large pond.
It is circular. The "giglio" is a plant (trans: Lily) that was the symbol of the Panphilj family. (All families in the italian aristocracy had a symbol or icon that identified their properties in architecture).
