Another of the seven hills that deserves special attention is the Aventine Hill, an area where you can admire the city's only Pyramid, the tomb of the praetor Caius Cestius built in 12 B.C. immediately after the Empire's conquest of Egypt, where you can climb up to one of Rome's most scenic spots, the Orange Garden, and where you can enjoy a special view of St. Peter's dome through the keyhole of the gate of the Priory of the Knights of Malta.

Take the metro until Ostiense station. Step down there, and direct yourself to the super romantic Non-Catholic Cemetery (please check the opening times!). You will also have a spot at the Pyramid of Caio Cestio (we aren’t in Egypt, right?). Then climb the Aventine Hill up to Piazza dei Cavalieri di Malta, designed by the great 18th century architect Piranesi, where likely after a small queue you will be able to spot St. Peter’s Dome through the keyhole of the Malta Knights’ Gardens. They say it is the only place in the world where your sight spans through three States :) Then visit the Santa Sabina church, one of the oldest and most magnificent in its simplicity you will find in Rome, and take a rest in the romantic Giardino degli Aranci, enjoying the breathtaking view.

The area between the Tiber and the group of hills nearest the river - Capitoline,Palatine and Aventine - was occupied in ancient times by the Forum Boarium(from bos, ox), where the cattle market was held. This plain was of fundamental importance from Rome's earliest times, as the meeting point of the Tiber with the road running north-south to connect Etruria with Campania. In the area between the three temples of the nearby Forum Holitorium and the temple of Portunus, the deity protecting the port, lay the commercial port of the city. The legends about the Foro Boario indicate the market precisely in this point, on the bank of the river, as the first nucleus for the development of the city. The two temples of the Forum Boarium in Hellenistic style date from the Republican age (509-27 BC): the temple of Portunus, already mentioned - the so-called Temple of Virile Fortune, and the temple to Hercules the Victor also known as the temple of Vesta.

I spent many happy years of my childhood here; you can see the most beautiful sights of the city with the most gorgeous churches surrounded by gardens, with a wonderful rose garden nearby. It's the perfect spot to start off your trip in Rome!
