Temple of Asclepius

This temple was built in 1786, according to classical model, as a memory of the destroyed ancient temple of Asclepius, located on the Tiber Island.

The temple is situated in the middle of the small island on the artificial lake in Villa Borghese. At that time, in fact, reproductions of ancient temples and statues were realized as a decorative landscape feature. Enjoy to the utmost this romantic corner in Villa Borghese renting a row-boat!
