Aventine Hill
The Aventine Hill is one of the famous Seven Hills of Rome, located in the southern part of the city close to the Testaccio district. One of the main sights on the Aventine is the Basilica di Santa Sabina, originally built during the 5th century AD.
This is a popular site for people looking to get away from the hustle and bustle in the city below. The Giardino degli Aranci next to the Basilica di Santa Sabina is famed as having one of the best views of Rome while another attraction is the Buco della Serratura with its own, very unique view of St. Peter's Basilica.
There are two further religious buildings of note on the Aventine, the Basilica dei Santi Bonifacio ed Alessio which dates back to the 3rd century, and the Chiesa di Sant'Anselmo all'Aventino.
The closest Metro stop to the Aventine Hill is Circo Massimo on the blue line B which is a 12 minute walk away. However, if you've been visiting the Bocca della Verità there's no need to take public transport as it's only a 10 minute walk from there.
