This ancient gate is beautiful. Located near the San Giovanni metro stop it is surrounded by some beautiful gardens. We’re glad we stopped here on the way to the basilica.

A massive gate in the ancient Aurelian Walls of Rome. The gate has two gigantic round towers, and was built around 273, at the same time as the wall. As of early September 2018, there is no access, but you can see the gate, front and back, from the sidewalk.

You can still see much of the outside of the gate from various places. The best viewpoint is to stop in the small cafe which overlooks it and sit in one of outside tables. The view is great. You cannot currently enter as there appears to be extensive restoration work going on

Dating back almost 2 millennia, this beautiful gate still stands next to the amazing San Giovanni basilica. Worth a quick visit.

Monti is Rome’s rebel yell. This neighbourhood just
west of Termini train station mixes grit with fun as

for the artsy, alternative, and hipster. Every season,
quirky boutiques and food spots sprout up on its
cobblestone streets. The neighbourhood supports unique
and homegrown businesses that cater to its longtime
residents as well as hipsters on the hunt. Hang out at
