Tempio di Esculapio in Rome

In Rome there is a beautiful park in the center of the city, Villa Borghese.

A huge place where you can relax and observe some ancient finds of Roman civilization, including the Temple of Aesculapius 

was built in the ionic style between 1785 and 1792 by Antonio Asprucci and his son Mario Asprucci, with help from Cristoforo Unterperger.

The temple was perhaps built in memory of the destroyed ancient temple to the god of Medicine on the Tiber Island.

The temple houses a statue of Aesculapius, believed to be originally from the Mausoleum of Augustus. Neglected over the centuries, it was restored by Vincenzo Pacetti and sold to Marcantonio Borghese IV in 1785.
