Trastevere

Trastevere is a district in Rome, Italy, located across the Tiber River. Historically, it has been home to powerful Roman families and features palaces from the Renaissance and later periods. The area is characterized by narrow, cobbled streets that often open into small piazzas with churches, cloisters, or cafes. In the late 20th century, Trastevere became known as a bohemian neighborhood with a significant foreign population. It is also home to Santa Maria in Trastevere, considered by some to be the oldest church in Rome, with its current structure largely dating from the 12th century.123
