What's included

Itinerary

1. 1

   Porta Settimiana

   Pass by

   When Emperor Aurelian built Rome’s most imposing set of defensive walls in 271 AD, Trastevere was partially included within them. Porta Settimiana is one of the Aurelian Walls’ city gates, although what you see today was heavily restored in the late 1400s.

2. 2

   Piazza di Santa Maria v Trastevere

   Pass by

   Piazza di Santa Maria is Trastevere’s main square, and a meeting place for the many young people who flock to the buzzing district after the sun goes down.

3. 3

   Fontana della Botte

   Pass by

   In 1927, sculptor Pietro Lombardi was commissioned to create a set of nine fountains to represent Rome’s rioni, or districts. Each of Lombardi’s fountains captures a specific characteristic of its particular neighborhood. Fontana della Botte or the Fountain of the Barrel represents Trastevere.
