Tour Description

Our Trastevere and Ghetto walking tour is designed to show you the oldest neighborhoods in the city and recount the history of impressive churches, monuments, and sites spanning from 2000 years ago, which all bear witness to the city’s major players - Emperors and Popes, wealthy Roman families, Jewish merchants, medieval monks, and the poor.

Soon after the fall of the Roman Empire, the Trastevere and Ghetto neighborhoods passed through the hands of the various wealthy families who left their marks with ambitious building projects, such as churches, chapels, palaces, and fountains. Very quickly classical ruins were transformed in private residences, and the removal of precious materials from ancient buildings, to reuse and display them in chapels, palace courtyards, and exterior walls of private houses became a common practice.

Not everyone knows that the major churches and palaces of Trastevere and the Ghetto behold the ruins of important ancient Roman buildings, the relics of the most significant Roman saints, the interior mosaic decorations comparable in quality to those in Constantinople and Venice, and private commissions that speak about a population which never abandoned the dreams of their splendid past.

While recounting about the history, economy, art, and society of the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, your Real Rome guide will recount and portray the vibrant economic and religious climate that fostered the creation of the monuments and sites that today form the unique heritage of the Trastevere and Ghetto neigborhoods.

More than a dozen sites will be visited and these include: Our hope is that following this tour you will have a new insight into the medieval and Renaissance spirit of Rome and a better understanding of the meaning and purpose of these historically and culturally important sites.
