Free Tour from the Aventine to the Jewish Ghetto: the Secret Lock
Overview
We start in Piazza dei Cavalieri di Malta, in front of the famous keyhole, where a simple glance reveals centuries of power, symbolism and perspective.
From the Aventine Hill we will descend through a less obvious Rome, among legends, ancient temples and uncomfortable truths, until we reach the Jewish Ghetto, one of the oldest neighborhoods in Europe, where history is still alive among streets, traditions and flavors.
A tour that connects mystery, religion, politics and daily life, designed for travelers who want to understand Rome from the inside, not just photograph it.
This activity includes:
- Orange Garden B&B
- Basilica di Santa Sabina all'Aventino
- Marcello Theater
- Buco della serratura dell’Ordine di Malta
- Mouth of Truth
- Pirámide caio cestio
- Colina aventino
- Agujero de la cerradura de roma
