The Michelin Guide's review
Devoid of walls and fences, this archaeological garden showcases Roman ruins that create a natural backdrop to the plants. Very popular with the locals, it is home to a double row of white stone arcades, a possible throwback to thermal baths. To the right is a wall, which encloses the northern section of a theatre and is thought to have been used for performances of the Mysteries of Cybele (but this hypothesis is still controversial).
