The keyhole of the Aventine

Di cosa si tratta

Piazza dei Cavalieri di Malta on the Aventino is home to the gateway of the Priory of the Order of Malta. Through the keyhole there's a brilliant frame: looking inside you see a tree-lined avenue leading perfectly to the dome of St. Peter's Basilica. A sovereign Order, Italy and the Vatican aligned within a few metres. Free, always accessible from outside. There's often a small queue — everyone takes about 10 seconds. Combine it with the Giardino degli Aranci just 50 metres away.
