Other sights on the Janiculum include the church of San Pietro in Montorio, built upon the site formerly thought to be where St Peter was crucified; the small shrine known as the Tempietto, desiged by Donato Bramante, marks the supposed site of Peter’s death. The Janiculum also houses a Baroque fountain built by Pope Paul V in the late-17th century.

While it is neither the official mother church of the Roman Catholic Church nor the cathedral of the Pope as Bishop of Rome, Saint Peter’s is regarded as one of the holiest Catholic sites. It has been described as “holding a unique position in the Christian world” and as “the greatest of all churches of Christendom”.

Bearing this in mind, we suggest purchasing a Roma Pass, costing 25 Euros and entitling card holders to use public transport for three days running, as well as benefit from discounts in museums, at tourist sites, shops and theatres.

BOATS
It is slightly rash to regard the Tiber as an alternative throughway to get about the city, although it does serve as a fabulous opportunity to enjoy a relaxing panoramic trip. A number of different kinds of cruises, sponsored by Rome City Council, have in fact been working both day and night for a number of years.
The boat trips run both on an around 6 km. stretch of river running past some of the city’s most evocative and historically interesting sites from Ponte Risorgimento to Tiber Island (Isola Tiburina), and south of the city from Ponte Marconi as far as the archaeological site of Ostia Antica.
After Paris, London, Prague, it is Rome’s turn to rediscover the charm of boating and getting a totally different point of view from its very own river, the celebrated Tiber.

Bookings: Call Centre +39 06 97745498 or directly at a Last Minute Sales Point at embarkations at Castel Sant’Angelo or Isola Tiberina.
