The Capitol gardens are considered a veritable work of art. They were designed by the architect J.C.N. Forestier, who followed the style and simplicity of the most beautiful European gardens.

A system of paths forms the crossroads of all the accesses leading to entrances in all the fronts of the building. Palms stand throughout the area occupied by these paths and the lawns. Of these, particularly fine are the groups of royal palms, unmistakable due to their proportions, form, color and tropical character.

The distribution of the lamps naturally follows the layout of the gardens, and are made of iron and bronze. A total of 101, they each have 1, 2, 3 or 5 lights.
