Trastevere and Jewish Ghetto Self-Guided Audio Walk: Tiber Island, Santa Maria and Ponte Sisto
75 minutes
About this experience
After the Tiber flooded Rome in 1870, the city walled its river in, and in the same decades the riverside was remade: a Roman bridge rebuilt, another cut down, the old Ghetto cleared, an avenue driven through Trastevere, a fountain moved across the river. Start at the Portico d'Ottavia in the former Jewish quarter, where the deportation of 16 October 1943 is remembered, then pass the Theatre of Marcellus and cross Ponte Fabricio, built in 62 BC, onto the Tiber Island. Wind through Trastevere past the Anguillara tower to Santa Maria in Trastevere and its gold mosaic, the church of the stair, Porta Settimiana and Piazza Trilussa, and end on Ponte Sisto with Saint Peter's dome upstream. Twelve stops, about 1.7 km and 75 minutes, at your own pace, in English. No entry tickets needed.
What's included
From the Portico d'Ottavia in the old Ghetto past the Theatre of Marcellus, over the Tiber Island's Roman bridges, through the lanes of Trastevere to Santa Maria's gold mosaic, Piazza Trilussa and Ponte Sisto.
