Trastevere<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Street in the quirky\u00a0Trastevere<\/a>\u00a0area of Rome; the name\u00a0means across the Tiber, as it lies on the other (the Western) bank of the Tiber from the ancient heart of the city.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The portico of the basicila of S. Maria in Trastevere<\/a> is decorated with fragments of early Christian funerary inscriptions. (R) classical Christian symbols of\u00a0doves, the\u00a0eucharistic cup,\u00a0and the chi-rho.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

S. Maria in Trastevere is one of Rome’s earliest churches, with the original structure thought to date from the early 3rd C. The magnificent mosiacs at the left are 13th C.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

(L) The Garibaldi monument<\/a> on the Gianicolo hill<\/a>.\u00a0The Gianicolo hill is not one of the classic\u00a0Seven\u00a0Hills of Rome<\/a> as, being “beyond the Tiber”, it lies outside the bounds of the ancient city.\u00a0(R) View over Rome from the Gianicolo hill.

Exterior view of the Basilica\u00a0di Santa Maria Maggiore<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Reliquary of Thomas Becket<\/a> in the slightly random museum associated with S. Maria Maggiore.<\/p>\n

(L) Street view with S. Maria Maggiore in the background. (R) Trajan’s column<\/a>, completed in AD 113, commorates Trajan’s victory in his wars with Dacia<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
