The western highlands

Minerva Temple

    On the western edge of town, there's the Greek-style monument, the Minerva Temple. Just behind the temple is a little zoo (Tues– Sun 9am–5pm; free), doubling as a kids' playground. The cages are small but all the animals – including birds, monkeys and pizotes – are well cared for.
