The Aventine hill, in which neighbourhood
we find some of the most significant monuments of the ancient imperial
Rome such as the Colosseum, the Circus Maximus, the Caracalla Thermes
and the Forum Romanum, was since the antiquity, home of sumptous villas
and temples, like the temples dedicated to CERERE, DIANA and MINERVA.
On the Aventine you can find also numerous christian churches like
S. Sabina, S. Prisca, S. Anselmo and S. Alessio. In this magnificent
frame is also located the "garden of roses" (roseto), that
offers an explosion of colours in springtime. |
The Aventine hill has its unique
atmosphere in Rome, where it seems, that the time stands still, even
if the historical and commercial centre of the city is near. Another
important place of the hill is the "Parco degli aranci"
(orange garden), a romantic terrace on the river, that offers a wonderful
view of the eternal City. In this suggestive scenery is located the
AVENTINO S. ANSELMO HOTELS, composed of 4 residential villas. The
transformation in to hotels has not destroyed the charm and finesse
and fits perfect with the architecture of the Aventine. |
