Isola Tiberina, Rome: 25 reviews and 38 photos

  over the Ponte Fabricio
by mrclay2000
 
 

As if Rome did not have enough wonders, the island in the middle of the Tiber is like visiting another world. The 11th century church there fronts a modern hospital. The two bridges that link the island to the city (Ponte Fabricio - 62 BC, and Ponte Cestio - 43 BC) are along with the Ponte Sant'Angelo the city's most intimate connection with the river (that priceless urban feature in which Paris rather than Rome leads the world.)
