Gardens of Sallust, Ancient garden and archaeological site in Rome, Italy

The Gardens covered a vast area between Pincian and Quirinal hills, stretching from Via XX Settembre to Via Salaria and the Aurelian Walls.

Roman historian Sallust established these gardens in 50 BC using funds obtained during his administration of the African province.

The gardens contained numerous art pieces, including the Dying Gaul statue, the Ludovisi Throne, and the Sallustian Obelisk now at Trinità dei Monti.

The complex at Piazza Sallustio now functions as a conference and event center, managed by the Italian Chamber of Commerce.

The ancient structures lie 14 meters below current street level, featuring a circular hall with two nymphaeums and multi-story residential buildings.
