The Villa Vecchia is a historic park created on the site of a garden dating back to the 1600s, annexed to the former monastery of Santa Maria di Costantinopoli in the city of Cosenza. It is a municipal garden extending to the slopes of Colle Guarassano and the district of Spirito Santo below, covering an area of about 30,000 square metres at Piazza XV Marzo, in the historic centre of the city. Located near the Palazzo del Governo, seat of the Province, it has several entrances and lies on an altitude profile between 275 and 240 metres above sea level. The monumental entrance is located on Via Petrarca, flanked by the staircase giving access to the gardens, while the main entrance opens onto the space in front of the Teatro Alfonso Rendano, the only traditional theatre in the region of Calabria, renovated in 2002–2003.
