AROUND
Located within the Piazza Mattei, just steps from Trastevere, the Tiber River, Piazza Venezia and Campo di Fiori, you’ll have a view on the historic Fontana delle Tartarughe, a monument in itself. Sant’ Angelo is the smallest rioni, or district, in the city. It is historically known as the city’s Jewish ghetto, and is home to the Synagogue of Rome. The Circus Flaminius of ancient Rome stretched into this little district, and when it crumbled, new houses were built using its ruins. Traces of the circus can still be found in the walls of its oldest houses. Foodies will rejoice in knowing that the bustling produce market of Campo de’ Fiori is less than 10 minutes away by foot. The Castel Sant’ Angelo with its elaborate rooms and panoramic views of the Eternal City is a leisurely 20 minute stroll across the Tiber as well as everything from the Pantheon to the Colisseum within walking distance.
