Can someone please tell me how is it different from any other labyrinth and what makes it special (because it's memorial to some writer?)? I looked at photos an

    I saw it, but don't find it particularly interesting, seems more like form over function in case of labyrinth.

And Borges is not just any writer: his process and language is indelible to anyone who read him, especially in formative years.

    Of course the labyrinth in Borges is a full concept, not just a plain geometric shape. -- Spinoza Las traslúcidas manos del judío // labran en la penumbra los cristales // y la tarde que muere es miedo y frío. // (Las tardes a las tardes son iguales.) Las manos y el espacio de jacinto // que palidece en el confín del Ghetto // casi no existen para el hombre quieto // que está soñando un claro laberinto. No lo turba la fama, ese reflejo // de sueños en el sueño de otro espejo, // ni el temeroso amor de las doncellas. Libre de la metáfora y del mito // labra un arduo cristal: el infinito // mapa de Aquel que es todas Sus estrellas.
