Aventino-Testaccio

Rome

Further south stand Celio and Aventino, the former has a long promontory, called Monte delle Querce, as it was once home to many oak trees (querce). It is possibly the greenest and most charming of the seven hills and is home to Parco del Celio and Villa Celimontana. There are many beautiful buildings here, especially along the magnificent Via Appia Antica almost all are places of worship. Both Aventino and Celio have few inhabitants. Aventino is rich in important medieval monuments (such as the S.Maria in Cosmedin basilica, where the famous Bocca della Verità or mouth of truth is housed).
