This is a neighborhood with ancient origins: it was founded in ancient Roman Empire because it was very close to the river “Tevere”. On the river Rome had its first harbor of the city which was located close to the the “Isola Tiberina”. The name “Trastevere” comes from the fact that this neighborhood was located “on the other side” of the river Tevere and not on the side of the proper city of Rome. In Latin “trans Teberim” means on the other side of the “Tevere”, hence the name “Trastevere.”
The neighborhood is heaven for people who like to walk because many areas have limited access to cars. You will be walking on medieval cobblestone ("Sanpietrini") alleys that still carry the mystery of the past. These streets with its characteristic medieval houses were populated for centuries by artisans, artists, musicians, and poets.
Here are some must-see sights:
-The “Farnesina” with Raffaello’s frescos
-“Palazzo Corsini”: the “Academy of the Lincei”, the National Gallery of Ancient Art
-The botanical garden
-The “Beata Ludovico Albertini” by Bernini in the church of “San Francesco a Ripa”
-the splendid mosaics by “Cavallini in “Santa Maria in Trastevere”
-The “Tempietto" by Bramante in the nearby church “San Pietro del Montorio”
-The “Fontana dell’Acqua Paola”, ancient Traiano, remodeled by Pope Paolo V
- The “Giannicolo”: eights hill of Rome from where you can enjoy a beautiful view; the name comes from “Giano” the god with the two faces
Trastevere is criss crossed by little shops, pubs and restaurants which make this neighborhood joyful and entertaining.
