Itinerary from Campo dei Fiori to the Basilica of Santa Sabina all'Aventino

This itinerary leads from Campo de' Fiori to the Basilica of Santa Sabina on the Aventine Hill.

Along the route, you pass through the Ghetto, Rome's Jewish quarter, one of the oldest and most fascinating in the city. The neighborhood retains a unique atmosphere, with its narrow streets, historic buildings, and restaurants serving traditional Roman-Jewish cuisine.

Continuing the walk, you reach the Mouth of Truth, located in the portico of the Church of Santa Maria in Cosmedin. The Mouth of Truth is an ancient marble mask featuring a bearded male face with wide-open eyes, nose, and mouth. According to medieval legend, the mouth has the power to bite the hand of anyone who tells a lie.

The itinerary's final destination is The Basilica of Santa Sabina on the Aventine Hill, a masterpiece of early Christian architecture that has survived to this day in an exceptional state of preservation. The basilica, located on the Aventine Hill, is flanked by the evocative Orange Garden, which offers one of the most beautiful and romantic panoramic views of Rome.

A few steps from the basilica is the famous Keyhole, one of the city's most fascinating secrets: looking through the keyhole of the door of the Priory of the Knights of Malta, you can glimpse, in a perfect play of perspective, the dome of St. Peter's Basilica framed by the hedges of the garden.
