Arrive at the Mausoleo della Bela Rosin before the sun crests the horizon. The site opens at 09:00 on Mondays and Thursdays, but the exterior grounds are accessible earlier. Stand in the quiet garden and wait for the WSW glow to hit the stone.

Watch the sunrise. At 08:04 the sun breaks the horizon, casting a warm light on the mausoleum. The WSW alignment means the light falls directly on the structure as it rises.
