Lago con il Tempio di Asclepio is an artificial lake in Villa Borghese, a large park in Rome. In the middle of the lake is a small temple dedicated to Asclepius, the god of medicine in Greek and Roman mythology. The temple was built in the late 18th century by Antonio Asprucci, who renovated the park on behalf of Prince Marcantonio Borghese. The temple has a round shape with four columns and a dome, and contains a statue of Asclepius with a staff and a snake.
