Trastevere is a place full of architectural beauties to visit.
Among these, there are some that have also entered world culture, albeit sometimes indirectly.
One of these is the Fontana dell’Acqua Paola, also known as the Fontanone, or Fontana del Gianicolo, is a monumental fountain built in 1600.
The Basilica of Santa Maria in Trastevere is the most important Catholic church in the Trastevere district of Rome and this is because it is the parish seat of the district.
It is located in Piazza Santa Maria in Trastevere and has a very interesting history which we will talk about in the next lines.
If you are on holiday in Rome and you are located in a hotel or other type of accommodation in Trastevere, you are probably wondering how to reach the main monuments of Rome from this Rione.
The city of Rome is really very large and, in order to better manage such a vast territory, over time it was decided to divide it into several levels.
To be precise, Rome is divided into three “territorial” typologies: administrative, urban and historical or toponymy (or Rioni).
What we are about to write may seem like an obvious and banal statement, but it is not quite so: every place in the world has its own history and it is important to know it in order to better understand what we find in that place. This applies to art, architecture, people’s mentality and much more.
