This area is adjacent to the west wall and the western gate which opens up to Conti Street. This space has been created by the loss of two tombs and subsequent grass overgrowth. The area is empty aside from an assortment of gardening tools and a statue of Aesculapius, God of Medicine, located there since at least the late nineteenth century, according to a watercolor sketch by W.A. Rogers published Dec. 30, 1899, by Harper's Weekly.
