Capitoline Hill - Capitoline Hill is the smallest of Rome’s original seven hills. It represents the heart of the Roman Empire, once home to the city’s most significant temples. Ceramic antiquities dating back to 1300 BC show that Capitoline Hill was inhabited long before Rome was founded.
-
Teatro di Marcello - At the base of Capitoline Hill lies the archaeological area of Marcellus’ Theatre. Walking on the ancient Roman pavement, one can circle around Ottavia’s portico, an Imperial Roman monument. During the medieval period, this area was densely populated, and a significant fish market was held here due to its proximity to the river. The market remained active until the late 1800s.
-
Ghetto - The historic Ghetto of Rome occupied a large part of Sant’Angelo, between Capitoline Hill and the Tiber, directly across from Tiber Island. The Jewish community of Rome has been present since ancient times, and today the Ghetto is home to the largest Jewish community in Italy.
-
Tempio Maggiore - The Great Synagogue of Rome overlooks Tiber Island with its ancient broken bridge.
-
Area Sacra di Largo Argentina - The old neighborhood was demolished in 1926 to make way for new buildings, revealing one of the city’s most important archaeological sites. Inaugurated on April 29, 1929, by Benito Mussolini, the sacred area of Largo Argentina boasts one of the largest complexes of Republican temples visible today.
