| Campo de' Fiori (Field of Flowers) - in this square of the 15th century, the political enemies used to be executed. This is the case of Giordano Bruno, executed in the 17th century. Today, it is the very heart of the Roman young people nightlife. Fountain of the Turtles - (Piazza Mattei) finished by Landini in 1585. |

| Janiculum Hill - besides a wonderful view of Rome, you'll also find: the church of St. Peter in Montorio and Paola Fountain, built by Fontana and Maderno in 1611 restoring the old aqueduct constructed by Trajan in A.D. 109 to carry water from the Bracciano lake to Rome. Trastevere - it is still the most characteristic suburb of the city. Upon the old Roman houses, constructions have arisen first in mediaeval, and after in baroque style. Amongst the most imposing churches: S. Maria in Trastevere, the first place of worship ever built in Rome. In spite of some baroque changes (during the 17th century), we can still admire the bell-tower of the 12th century. |
