Horti Pallantiani, Archaeological site near Porta Maggiore, Rome, Italy.
The Horti Pallantiani extends across the Esquiline Hill, featuring ancient garden terraces, pools, and architectural remains from the Roman Empire period.
The gardens belonged to Pallas, an imperial freedman, until Nero arranged his death in 62 CE to seize his properties and incorporate them into imperial holdings.
The gardens contained the Temple of Minerva Medica, a decagonal structure with a 25-meter dome that represented advanced Roman engineering and architectural methods.
Visitors can access the archaeological area through guided tours, which include explanations of the garden layout and the remaining structural elements.
The site maintains visible traces of the ancient Roman water system, including sections of the Aqua Marcia aqueduct that supplied water to the gardens.
