Rome - Mediaval
It
is not easy to find artistic
remainders of the Middle Ages in
Rome, also because they are often
incorporated into buildings built
during later periods, or hidden in
places rarely visited by the
occasional tourists. In addition to
the ancient, Renaissance or Baroque
city, there is also a medieval Rome
with its monuments
and works of art which can, in part,
be discovered through this
itinerary.
Of the numerous churches built in the
Middle Ages in Rome, around 40 remain
with their original appearance.
And
of the 300 existing towers, we can
count 50 of them, many of which are
absolutely unknown because they are
hidden by the buildings against which
they stand.In the Middle Ages Rome
was obviously smaller than it is
today,
and extended along the Tiber,
a fundamental resource for water
supply and as a communication route.
In the Trastevere quarter, along the
right-hand riverbank, there are still
churches and residential buildings
dating from the Middle Ages.
The visit may thus begin from the
Isola Tiberina and end in the
heart of Trastevere, in Piazza Santa
Maria in Trastevere.
