Ponte Sant'Angelo, also known as pons Aelius (Helios Bridge), pons Hadriani (Hadrian's Bridge) or Castello Bridge, is a bridge that connects Piazza di Ponte S. Angelo to the Vatican Lungotevere, in Rome, in the Ponte and Borgo districts . It was built in Rome in 134 by the emperor Hadrian, designed by a certain Demetrianus, to connect his mausoleum to the left bank. It was built in peperino and covered in travertine and had three arches, which were accessed via ramps from the shore. The ramps were in turn supported by three smaller arches on the left bank and two on the right bank, towards Hadrian's mausoleum, which were destroyed in 1893 during the construction of the river banks and replaced by modern arches. The street level had high sidewalks on the sides equipped with travertine balustrades.

The Papal Basilica of Saint Peter in the Vatican, or simply Saint Peter's Basilica is a church of the Italian High Renaissance located in Vatican City. It was initially planned in the 15th century by Pope Nicholas V and then Pope Julius II to replace the ageing Old St. Peter's Basilica, which was built in the fourth century by Roman emperor Constantine the Great. Construction of the present basilica began on 18 April 1506 and was completed on 18 November 1626. Designed principally by Donato Bramante, Michelangelo, and Carlo Maderno, with piazza and fittings by Gian Lorenzo Bernini, St. Peter's is one of the most renowned works of Italian Renaissance architecture and is the largest church in the world by interior measure. While it is neither the mother church of the Catholic Church nor the cathedral of the Diocese of Rome, St. Peter's is regarded as one of the holiest Catholic shrines. It has been described as "holding a unique position in the Christian world",and as "the greatest

Built to a design by the architect Ennio De Rossi in 1886, it was called the Vittorio Emanuele bridge when it had not yet been built[3]. The works were soon interrupted and resumed only in 1908 and inaugurated for the first time on 5 May 1911, on the occasion of the fiftieth anniversary of the Unification of Italy, then again on 28 April 1912, with the definitive installation of the travertine groups[4]. It has three arches for a length of 110 m and is decorated at the ends by high bases with winged Victories and, in correspondence with the central pylons, by symbolic sculptural groups, whose technical design was carried out by the Allegri company. The bronze Victories are the work of the sculptors Elmo Palazzi, Luigi Casadio, Amleto Cataldi and Francesco Pifferetti. The sculptural groups were created (and inaugurated) in travertine the following year by Giuseppe Romagnoli for La fidelity to the Statute (after the battle of Novara, 1849); Italo Griselli for Il Valore Militare (the ....

Since the royal era, the area was consecrated to the god Mars, and used for military exercises. It is said that here, near the Palus Caprae, the first king of Rome, Romulus, was taken to heaven.[1] Tarquinius the Proud took it over and had it cultivated for wheat. According to a legend, during the revolt that caused the king's expulsion, the sheaves of that wheat were thrown into the river, giving rise to the Tiber Island. With the beginning of the Republican era, the Campus Martius returned to a public area and was reconsecrated to the god. It was the seat of the comitia centuriata, assemblies of the people in arms. The southernmost part of the plain, starting from the slopes of the Capitoline Hill (where the remains of the Theater of Marcellus and the portico of Ottavia are currently visible) was distinct from the actual Campus Martius, with the toponym of Circo Flaminio. The area was crossed by the Via Flaminia, the urban part of which took the name of Via Lata (now Via del Corso.

Piazza Navona is a public open space in Rome, Italy. It is built on the site of the 1st century AD Stadium of Domitian and follows the form of the open space of the stadium in an elongated oval. The ancient Romans went there to watch the agones ("games"), and hence it was known as "Circus Agonalis" ("competition arena"). It is believed that over time the name changed to in avone to navone and eventually to navona.

Tutto ha inizio nel 135 d.C. quando l'imperatore Adriano chiede all'architetto Demetriano di costruire un mausoleo funebre per sé e i suoi familiari, ispirandosi al modello del mausoleo di Augusto, ma con dimensioni gigantesche. I lavori durarono diversi anni e furono ultimati da Antonino Pio nel 139. Venne costruito di fronte al Campo Marzio, al quale fu unito da un ponte appositamente costruito, il Ponte Elio. Il mausoleo era composto da una base cubica, rivestita in marmo lunense, avente un fregio decorativo a teste di buoi (Bucrani) e lesene angolari. Nel fregio prospiciente il fiume si leggevano i nomi degli imperatori sepolti all'interno. Sempre su questo lato si presentava l'arco d'ingresso intitolato ad Adriano; il dromos (passaggio d'accesso) era interamente rivestito di marmo giallo antico.

The Pantheon (temple of all the gods") is a former Roman temple and, since AD 609, a Catholic church (Basilica Santa Maria ad Martyres or Basilica of St. Mary and the Martyrs) in Rome, Italy. It was built on the site of an earlier temple commissioned by Marcus Vipsanius Agrippa during the reign of Augustus (27 BC – AD 14), then after that burnt down, the present building was ordered by the emperor Hadrian and probably dedicated c. AD 126. Its date of construction is uncertain, because Hadrian chose not to inscribe the new temple but rather to retain the inscription of Agrippa's older temple. (VSIT OUTSIDE)

Ponte Principe Amedeo Savoia Aosta, also known as Principe bridge or PASA bridge from its acronym, is a bridge that connects the Lungotevere dei Sangallo to Piazza Della Rovere, in Rome, in the Ponte, Trastevere and Borgo districts.

The bridge was built by Pope Sixtus IV between 1473 and 1479 to allow the crossing of the Tiber on the site of an older Roman bridge. It connects the two banks of the river between via del Pettinari and piazza Trilussa. A first bridge was built by Agrippa, friend and son-in-law of the emperor Augustus before his death in 12 BC, probably to connect his properties on the opposite banks of the Tiber. The existence of this bridge is attested by the inscription on a stone of the magistrates who dealt with the river (curatores Tiberis) discovered in 1887, which speaks of works on the bridge at the time of Emperor Claudius. The bridge was initially identified with the remains of pylons visible in the river downstream of Ponte Sisto, which instead probably belong to a late fortification of the river.

The Pons Cestius (Latin for the "Cestian Bridge"; Italian: Ponte Cestio) is an ancient Roman bridge connecting the right bank of the Tiber with the west bank of Tiber Island in Rome, Italy. In Late Antiquity, the bridge was replaced and renamed the Pons Gratiani ("Bridge of Gratian"). It is also known as Ponte San Bartolomeo (Italian for "Bridge of St Bartholomew"). No more than one-third of the present stone bridge is of ancient material, as it was entirely rebuilt and extended in the 19th century after numerous earlier restorations. The original bridge was built around the 1st century BC (sometime between 62 and 27 BC),[citation needed] after the Pons Fabricius, which connects the other side of the island to the river's left bank. The identity of the Cestius referred to in the bridge's name has yet to be discovered. He may have been responsible for building the bridge or for later restoring an existing one and may have been a member of the gens Cestia during the later Roman Republic.

At the time of the foundation of Rome, the Trastevere area was a hostile land that belonged to the Etruscans of Veii (litus tuscus or ripa veiens), disputed with the newborn city because it was strategic for the control of the river, the ford of the Tiber island and the ancient river port. It was then connected with the rest of the city via the Sublicius pons, from which the Via Campana started towards the salt pans on the Tyrrhenian Sea and later the Via Aurelia towards the Etruscan cities. In the Republican era it was populated by those workers whose activities were linked to the river, such as sailors and fishermen, together with oriental immigrants, mainly Jews and Syrians. For this reason, some temples of oriental cults arose in the area, including the so-called Syriac Sanctuary on the Janiculum. The consideration of the area as part of the city begins with the emperor Augustus, who divided the territory of Rome into 14 regions; ....

The Pons Fabricius (Italian: Ponte Fabricio, "Fabrician Bridge") or Ponte dei Quattro Capi, is the oldest Roman bridge in Rome, Italy, still existing in its original state.[1] Built in 62 BC, it spans half of the Tiber River, from the Campus Martius on the east side to Tiber Island in the middle (the Pons Cestius is west of the island). Quattro Capi ("four heads") refers to the two marble pillars of the two-faced Janus herms on the parapet, which were moved here from the nearby Church of St Gregory (Monte Savello) in the 14th century. According to Dio Cassius, the bridge was built in 62 BC, the year after Cicero was consulted, to replace an earlier wooden bridge destroyed by fire. It was commissioned by Lucius Fabricius, the curator of the roads and a member of the gens Fabricia of Rome. Completely intact from Roman antiquity, it has been in continuous use ever since.
