Horti Spei Veteris

The Horti Spei Veteris, later called Horti Variani, was a luxurious and important palace-estate, eventually the residence of Emperors, on the Esquiline Hill at the south eastern corner of ancient Rome and covering an area of 12,000 m2.

Remains are still visible today near the Porta Maggiore and the church of Santa Croce in Gerusalemme.
