The Monti district is the first and the most ancient of Rome; it is the ancient Roman Suburra – the word Suburra means "inhabited area under the city". I invite you to visit the district on foot with me for a livelier experience of one of the most appealing areas of the Capital. We will wander through its monuments and its craftsmen workshops.
First we will visit the Basilica of S.ta Maria Maggiore, the biggest church of Rome dedicated to the Virgin Mary, and famous for its mosaics dating back to the 5th century! Crossing the Monti district, with its still preserved medieval town and craftsmen workshops, we will reach the Church of St. Peter in Chains. Inside is housed one of the masterpieces of art, Michelangelo's statue of Moses. After a couple of other ancient stops, we will pass by the Trajan's Market, and at the end of this walking tour you will see the famous Trajan's Column, a column representing historical battles.
