Streets squares and districts to visit Rome

The most famous Roman historical villa. It is not only a pleasant walk for the Romans and tourists, but also offers many museums. It is rightly called the'museums park '. It houses Galerie Borghese, the Canonica Museum, the Etruscan National museum, the national gallery of modern art… It is a huge park that plays in Rome the role of the Bois de Boulogne in Paris. It occupies the height of the Pincio and extends to the balcony of the same name that dominates piazza del Popolo. It encompasses the gardens of the villa Giulia north of the Pincio. This park was part of the vast ensemble of the great areas of accreditation of the noble Romans, which, for the most part, did not resist the real estate explosion after 1870. The park is adorned with numerous statues, copies of many ancient buildings, and countless small buildings, such as those dedicated to Adonis, Faustina, and Diane or this fountain at Seahorses.

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.
