SOURCE: L. de Zanth. La Wilhelma, villa mauresque de S.M. le roi de Wurtemberg (Paris, 1855), pl. 3 NOTES: This complex was designed by Zanth for King Wilhelm I of Wurttemberg as a private retreat. Originally planned as a bathhouse over a mineral spring, the design expanded to become living quarters with attached glasshouses (known as the Moorish Villa). This was connected in 1851 via covered walkways to the Moorish Banqueting Hall, since demolished after severe wartime damage. Today Wilhelma is the zoological and botanical gardens of Stuttgart and the Moorish Villa is a combined animal and plant house.
