10 Sights & Landmarks in Aventino That You Shouldn't Miss

August 24, 2021 Elouise Mccaul

Rome wasn't built in a day--and you'll need much more than a day to take in this timeless city. The city is a real-life collage of piazzas, open-air markets, and astonishing historic sites. Toss a coin into the Trevi Fountain, contemplate the Colosseum and the Pantheon, and sample a perfect espresso or gelato before spending an afternoon shopping at the Campo de’Fiori or Via Veneto. Enjoy some of the most memorable meals of your life here, too, from fresh pasta to succulent fried artichokes or a tender oxtail stew.

Terme di Caracalla

The ruins of ancient Rome's public bathhouse, dating back to the 3rd century.

Reviewed By Kufra - Rome, Italy

The Roman thermal bathhouses were the forerunners of the modern fitness and aquatic centres, just as are many practices in ancient Rome. This expansive ruin commissioned by Caesar Caracalla is no exception and is in fact an excellent example. Situated on the route one would take when walking from the Circus Maximus, the ancient Roman racetrack ruins, to the Porta Sebastiano, the southern gate of Rome's surrounding ancient walls leading to the Via Appia Antica, the ancient Roman highway to Brindisi, this imposing structure is surrounded by a green, parklike area, and includes the ruins of its olympic sized swimming pool, steam rooms, hottub, cold and tepid baths, and the structures where its exercise and weight rooms, running track, food court, music room, pleasure gardens, reading room, hair dresser's salon, and other related centres of its complex were located. It is an amazing glimpse into life in ancient Rome, centre to a superpower.

Cimitero Acattolico per Stranieri

Reviewed By Margo7850p

What a wonderful place to visit. Few tourists visiting Rome reach one of the most interesting and suggestive places, which is the non-Catholic cemetery near the Pyramid of Cestius.Tourists from around the world are looking for the grave of John Keats, who died in Rome at the age of 26 in 1821. His name is not on the tombstone; only the words 'young English poet' appear. An epitaph was also engraved: "Here lies the one whose name is written on the water." There is also often visited by the Romans and tourists the tomb of the second poet of English Romantic Percy Bysshe Shelley. You can also see the tombstone of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe's son, August. The stone has the inscription: "Goethe filius". A very special cemetery in the heart of Rome.

Basilica di Santa Sabina

Reviewed By lukaszwenda - London, United Kingdom

Very historical church on the Aventino Hill. It is located in a quiet area, far away from the City Centre. That allows you to concentrate and stay calm far away from tourists. Check on the characteristic signage on the marble floor. Very old and original representing the Dominicans and its church.

San Giovanni Battista dei Fiorentini

Reviewed By Noraatc - Sudbury, United States

This Baroque masterpiece created by the best of Italian architects and sculptures is so close to the Ponte Sant’Angelo and yet missed by many. You will never find crowds inside and amazing Baroque masterpieces will be all yours to enjoy. The facade created by Giacomo della Porta is a shining example of Baroque elegance. The spacious nave with white columns on both sides lead you to stunning altar designed by Pietro da Cortona. The chapels are gorgeous as well, especially the Falconieri Chapel with the tomb of Cardinal Falconieri designed by Francesco Borromini and completed by Pietro da Cortona. Francesco Borromini’s is buried under the dome.

Rome War Cemetery

Reviewed By adelec317

Our visit was to pay our respects to my husbands uncle who died a few months after Italy was liberated. We found it very easy to get to as its within walking distance of the colosseum. On arriving there all we could say was Wow! So peaceful, no-one would know there was a main road on the otherside of the wall. Its beautifully kept,the gardners look after the graves exceptionally well and with the respect those laid to rest there deserve. Theres stone seats/benches that visitors can use to sit,reflect and take it in. The visitors book is readily available to write in and lots of information within a seperate book detailing the soldiers and also gives each soldiers grave numbers. Well worth a visit!
