Tourist Attractions & Monuments Rome

The Arch of Titus was built by Domitian in 81 A.D., in honour of his brother and predecessor Titus, to commemorate the taking and destruction of Jerusalem in 70 A.D. It is the oldest of the three triumphal arches still visible in Rome. It consists of a single arch, and its sides are decorated with bas-reliefs showing, on the one hand, Rome guiding Titus' quadriga and, on the other, the booty, including the temple furniture and in particular the seven-branched candlestick carried by the Roman soldiers during the triumphal parade.

You will surely cross this island to go from the historical centre to Trastevere. Located in front of the portico of Octavia, the legend tells that it would be none other than the petrification of the ship that brought Aesculapius to Rome... A temple was built in his honour on the lower tip of the island, later replaced by a church: San Bartolomeo. The hospital run by the brothers of Saint-Jean-de-Dieu, called Fatebenefratelli ("Do good, my brothers") covers almost the entire perimeter of the island. The island of Tiberina is a very pleasant place to walk.
