The tour starts from the Aventine Hill to visit the ancient church of Santa Sabina, built at the beginning of the 5C, with the original famous sculptured door and its old cloister. This is one of the most suggestive places in Rome, far from the noise and traffic.
The tour continues descending to the Circus Maximus to reach the church of Santa Maria in Cosmedin, built in the 6C on ancient Roman ruins, still standing and including medieval construction. Then you will visit the church of S. Giorgio in Velabro at the bottom of the Palatine Hill, decorated with a fresco attributed to Cavallini (13C) and the ancient Roman monuments of the Forum Boarium. |
