Terrace of the Orange Garden
Located to the south of the Circus Maximus and overlooking the Tiber, the hill of the Aventine, which in antiquity was the center of the plebeian revolt, is today an upscale and quiet residential area. It has long been occupied by the Knights of the Order of Malta and by the very ancient Santa Sabina Basilica with its charming Orange Garden.
The hill dominates from its southwest side the lively and nightlife-filled district of Testaccio with its bars and clubs, stretching between the Tiber and the Aurelian Walls, up to the Porta San Paolo and the Pyramid of Cestius. At the center stands the peculiar Monte Testaccio, an artificial hill 36 meters high, created in antiquity by the accumulation of broken amphorae.
