Summary
| Description |
English: The Palladian Circle in the Italian Gardens of Congress Park, Saratoga Springs, New York, consists of four statues standing in a semi-circle. Two of them are sartyrs (part human and part goat), and two are Maenads (female followers of Dionysus). In the center is a sundial, thought to be a copy of one in Lugano, Switzerland. Reproductions of the original statues were put in place in 2007, although the sundial is original and has been restored.
The "Italian Gardens" were so-called because they were modeled after Italian Renaissance gardens. They were part of Canfield Park, the formal gardens created by Richard Canfield after he acquired the Saratoga Clubhouse (which became the Canfield Casino) in 1894. Canfield retired in 1907 and sold the casino and its grounds to the City of Saratoga Springs in 1911, which then combined it with the grounds of the demolished Congress Hotel and the Congress Spring Bottling Plant to become Congress Park in 1913.
