Esculapio

The Temple of Asclepius, also known as the Temple of Esculapio, is an ancient Roman temple dedicated to the Greek god of medicine, Asclepius. According to legend, the temple was built after a plague hit Rome in 293 BC, and a delegation was sent to Epidaurus in Greece to obtain a statue of Asclepius. The temple was destroyed in the medieval period, but its remains can still be seen on the Isola Tiberina in Rome. A replica of the temple was built in the Villa Borghese gardens between 1785 and 1792, featuring a statue of Aesculapius and a beautiful artificial lake. The temple is a great place to visit with family and friends, offering a peaceful and romantic atmosphere
