Tiber Island
Highlight • Natural
The Tiber Island is deeply rooted in the Roman consciousness. For 2,500 years, it has separated Rome from Trastevere ("trans tiberim" - beyond the Tiber), connecting and separating at the same time, and not only in a geographical sense. Its history dates back to the time of the city's founding and blends myth, historical truth, and local events.
Even before the city was founded in the 8th century BC, it served as a natural crossing over the Tiber, which at that time, as a raging river, separated southern from northern Italy. Control over the Seven Hills established a very important "trade hub": it was here that the archaic peoples of central Italy arrived, trading their goods with the Greeks and Etruscans. The fusion of these peoples and cultures, combined with the settlement of the area, led to the advanced civilization of the ancient Romans.
The island above the Tiber has always been associated with the god of health, Aesculapius. After a plague epidemic in Rome, the Roman Senate sent a delegation to Greece with a petition to the god: the sign was his snake, which was said to have landed on the Tiber Island after a long journey in 293 BC. A temple dedicated to the god Aesculapius was built, along with a sanatorium, a kind of hospital primarily for the common people. An Egyptian obelisk adorned the central square.

Cycle walkway on Ponte dell'Industria: under construction (but will it be a cycle/pedestrian walkway on both sides, or a pedestrian and a cycle path, forcing you to cross the road...?)
Stalls on the Tiber cycle path: in an advanced stage of assembly (they work here even on Sundays!)
"What else?"
