The five best panoramic terraces of Rome
Roma Eternal City, an open-air museum; walking the streets you can breathe its glorious history on every corner. Sometimes it's hard to decide what to see how many possibilities it offers us so why not take a moment to admire it from above?. The wonderful feeling you get seeing Rome at your feet, in all its splendor, and more for free.
We go to the discovery of the five terraces with delightful view of the Capital.
Janiculum Terrace: the Janiculum hill is located west of the Tiber river, just above the Vatican and the Trastevere district (one of the busiest areas Roman). Driving along the long driveway the view you can enjoy from this terrace is breathtaking that you go by day or night. But If you can be there a few minutes before noon, take in one of the most impressive Roman traditions. Under the statue of Garibaldi in fact there is a cannon every day at 12.00 o'clock firing blanks, a tradition that goes on from this 1847 and it was introduced by Pius IX to give a standard to the churches of Rome and ensure that all were coordinated and they played at the same time. In the quietest of the city the cannon to shoot days you can hear clearly by up all'Esquilino.
Terrazza del Pincio: this terrace offers perhaps the best view you can imagine in Rome, especially at sunset when the lights make it even more magical landscape with a view across Piazza del Popolo. The neoclassical style by Napoleon is the work of Giuseppe Valadier creator precisely in 1816 the same square. He was given the task of connecting the square to the hill which he did, making two bends that go up and meet half way on the roof terrace. When in '900 Italian State bought the Villa Borghese on the Pincio were placed several busts of men and women (only three, one of which is to Grazia Deledda) famous over the years have exceeded 200 unit. That Pincio is perhaps the most pleasant stroll by the Romans.
the Orange Garden Terrace: This garden is located on the Aventine Hill, and is also called Savelli Park. The name of the garden derives from the presence of many bitter orange trees and from its terrace you can see the dome of St. Peter famossissima overlooking the city. By going to this magical place it will also be delighted by something else: continuing for a few meters you will reach it in front of the Villa of the Priory of the Knights of Malta, the keyhole of his door to be able to enjoy one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen, a view of Rome in front of San Pietro!.
Terrace of Trinita dei Monti: Another charming place, in another part of Rome. Going up the stairs you can admire the eighteenth-century Spanish from Spain in all its splendor, the skyline that is offered to our eyes is all the more spectacular jagged from the domes of the churches. Suggestive also the walk along the avenue leading to Villa Medici.
Zodiac Terrace: the highest point of Rome located 139 meters high Monte Mario is precisely the highest peak of the whole city. The viewpoint is called "Driveway of Innamorari" and from this point the eye will come to the Alban Hills, Flaminio district and part of the Foro Italico. In this place also houses the Astronomical Observatory Observatory that is housed in the Villa Mellini.
