Walking with our guide through the streets and intricate alleys of Trastevere, you will be able to discover some of the most amazing and well-kept secrets of this city and breathe the true Roman spirit. That’s why the area is commonly referred to as “the heart of Rome”. Trastevere is a district that lies on the west side of the Tiber, south of the Vatican City.
This area has kept, almost untouched, a unique authentic charm. When you wander through the streets, you will feel as if you are in a movie, set two, three or maybe more centuries ago. Here, time has left its mark in a co-existence of architectural elements belonging to different historical periods.
But, that alone, cannot fully explain the magic of Trastevere. In fact, Romans consider this district a sort of “keeper” of past traditions, and love to come here to explore boutiques, emporiums and craft shops or meet friends for a fun night out.
With regard to the Fountain in Piazza Maria in Trastevere, an aura of mystery and legend still lingers around its origins. Indeed, according to tradition, this is the oldest fountain in Rome dating back to the 8th century, but the exact date of its construction is still unknown. The Fountain in Piazza Santa Maria in Trastevere was also featured in a city map dating back to 1471, designed by Pietro del Massaio. In his original drawing, the fountain featured two basins, one above the other, pouring water into the basin below.
The tour ends in Piazza di San Giovanni della Malva.
The guide will meet you in Piazza San Simeone, by the fountain.
