Monti, a hidden gem in the middle of Rome, is a quarter too frequently overlooked by tourists rushing by only to see its famous sights, such as the Colosseum and the Church of San Pietro in Vincoli, and missing altogether the magic charm and secrets that lie inside the neighbourhood. A district of medieval watchtowers and narrow stairway streets, artsy boutiques and vintages shops, gourmet eateries, hipster bars and artisanal product stalls, Monti opens its soul, both young and dynamic and at the same time wise, skilful and profound, to everyone who is willing to wonder into its welcoming embrace.

 

Layers of history in Monti

Officially called Rione Monti, Monti is privileged to be the first rione (historic district) of Rome. The literal meaning of its name is “mountains” and refers to the fact, that earlier it was delimiting the bigger area and partially covering several of the famous seven hills of Rome – Esquiline, Viminal, Quirinal and Caelian Hills. Shrunk to its current size in the beginning of the 20th century, Monti nevertheless held on to its name and also to its coat of arms: three green mountains with three tops on a silver background. A keen eye will catch the black-and-white or colourful version of it on many corners and inside many restaurants in the neighbourhood.

History in Monti is layered and stratified over a period of 2500 years from Ancient Rome through medieval to modern times. Whatever epoch you are interested in – Monti has some treasure for everyone.

Svbvra

During the period of Ancient Rome the area housed a densely populated neighbourhood, mostly inhabited by lower class living in miserable conditions, thus the district was full of social contradictions, crime and immorality. The Latin name of the area was Svbvra, the origin of the English word “suburb”, the spelling in modern Italian changed to Suburra. At the lower exit of the metro station Cavour (when coming from Laurentina direction towards Termini), you can find Piazza della Suburra, in one corner of which you can see the inscription of the Latin name.

Due to its bad fame and frequent fires breaking out in the neighbourhood, the constantly smouldering Suburra was fenced off from a more upscale area of Roman Forums by a thick 33-meter high wall made of fire-resistant gabine stone. Remains of this wall can be still seen today along the Via Tor de’ Conti, where through the Arco dei Pantani you can also take a look at the Imperial Fora.

Medieval Times

During the Middle Ages the ruins of Suburra and the Forums were peppered by newly built watchtowers – each powerful aristocratic family had to own at least one, and the more important was the family, the thicker the walls of the tower and the taller the building. Many of them were demolished during the 13^th century, as a consequence of a new senator’s attempt to end the centuries-long civil war between the noble families. Some of them still remain standing today, and although modified over time, still represent a significant medieval imprint on the urban fabric of Monti. To see more information about the towers, scroll down to the Sightseeing section.

Modern Days

 

Since the end of the 19^th century, when Rome became the capital of the Kingdom of Italy, and during the years of the fascist regime of Benito Mussolini, Monti district has witnessed a lot of drastic changes. The fabric of the neighbourhood was severely altered and reshaped by cutting through the medieval quarters, demolishing them and adding several large avenues, namely Via Nazionale, Via Cavour and Via dei Fori Imperiali.

During the last decades Monti emerged as a bright star on the horizon of the bohemian, artsy and avant-garde population of Rome. Its squares are full of fashionable youngsters meeting with friends for a drink or a quick bite, and narrow streets hide the gems of designer clothing, stylish furniture and vintage decorative items. Young brave entrepreneurs open new establishments and invite others to share their idea and philosophy of healthy, wholesome, and sustainable. Venture here and you will inevitably fall in love with this magical neighbourhood and all its secret treasures.

Sightseeing in Monti

Contrary to what may seem from the first glance, Monti is not only about fashion, art and style. It also has a lot to offer to someone on a sightseeing mission, from the Roman ruins to the two of the four Major basilicas, which are located on the outer edges of its borders. Read on and find out what are the spots not to be missed when visiting this beautiful district.

Monuments of the Roman Empire

Since the area of Monti was populated from the times of the Ancient Rome, a lot of archaeological wonders of Roman Empire still remain to be seen today.

The One and Only – Colosseum

One of the most important remains of the Roman Empire, the unspoken symbol of Rome, Colosseum proudly stands for almost 2000 years. No additional representation is required – you can find information about it in endless sources, for a short insight into history and working hours take a look at our Colosseum guide.

Ludus Magnus

After having finished visiting the Colosseum, use the chance to pass by the remains of The Great Gladiatorial Training School, where gladiators were practicing and preparing for their fights. Resembling in structure the nearby arena but much smaller in size, Ludus Magnus was connected to the Colosseum with an underground passage. Nowadays only the little part of the remains is excavated and visible between the streets of Via Labicana and Via di S.Giovanni in Laterano.

The Imperial Fora

Fori Imperiali in Italian, these are a series of monumental public squares constructed between 46 BC and 113 AD by a succession of emperors. Located in the heart of the Roman Republic and the Roman Empire, these squares were the centers of politics, religion and economy. The standing out sight are the Trajan’s Markets, which are accessible through the Museo dei Fori Imperiali, open daily from 09:30 to 19:30, cost of the adult ticket is 11.50€.

Nero’s Domus Aurea

Laying between the Colosseum and the Church of San Pietro in Vincoli, there are the partially excavated remains of Domus Aurea – a huge villa built by Emperor Nero after the great fire of 64 AD. The level of luxury and richness implemented in its construction is reflected in its name, which in Latin means “The Golden House”. However, most of the Domus Aurea was filled with ground and built over right after Nero’s death, and in a few decades the place was forgotten about. Paradoxically this also ensured the survival of the wall paintings of the villa until modern times. Unfortunately, due to its poor condition, the monument is closed to public at the moment, but check back during your trip to Rome in case it would be re-open for visits.

Medieval Towers

If you are looking for medieval traces around Monti, there is no better way to spend the day than to see the medieval towers which are still remaining, some of them free-standing, some incorporated into other buildings. Imagine the fight for power and influence between noble aristocratic families, each trying to build a higher tower, not only to prove their might, but also to be able to shoot and to catapult downwards from theirs onto the enemy’s tower. A view of the Roman panorama from the top floors of the towers must have been incredible at the time of their construction – no other buildings obstructing the view, impressive Roman ruins always located somewhere nearby.. Let your imagination run wild and start with Via Tor de’ Conti and Salita del Grillo, where you can find three of the towers. If you do not want to walk uphill, enter Monti from the direction of Largo Magnanapoli.

Torre delle Milizie

Tower of the Militia is one of the oldest and tallest towers of the medieval Rome. Built in the 13^th century, it was actually constructed on top of the ruins of the Servian wall’s watchtower. Following the earthquake of 1348, the tower lost its top and tilted slightly, but was still used and changed possessors from one noble family to the next. The origin of the name is lost in centuries, it might have referred to a nearby location of the military quarters. According to the popular legend, emperor Nero chose the place where the tower is standing now to watch over the great fire of Rome, so sometimes the tower is also called “Nero’s Tower”.

Torre del Grillo

Continuing down along Salita del Grillo, you will encounter another medieval tower, Tower of the Grillo named so after the Grillo family. It was constructed in the 13^th century, and is a lovely example of how towers were incorporated into other buildings at a later date.

Torre dei Conti

Follow the street further along the remains of the ancient wall, built to separate the Suburra district from the Fora, and you will see the Tower of the Contis, one of the most impressive medieval towers of Rome. It is said to once have been 50-60 meters tall, but the upper floors were destroyed in the series of earthquakes, bringing it down to its current size of 30 meters. Built in 1238 by Richard Conti, it served as a fortified residence for his family. With the construction of the Via Cavour and the Via dei Fori Imperiali on the turn of the 19^th/20^th centuries, the tower was left isolated from surrounding buildings and is now free-standing.

Torre dei Borgia

From Torre dei Conti follow Via Cavour in the direction of the Church of San Pietro in Vincoli, around which you can see another two towers. One of them is visible from the Piazza San Pietro in Vincoli and is called Tower of the Borgias. Nowadays it’s a bell tower of the nearby Church of San Francesco di Paola. The watchtower itself was constructed in the 12^th century, but the belfry was added much later, thus becoming the only belfry with a complete tower at its base. The name is derived from the nearby located Salita dei Borgia.

Torre degli Annibaldi

Constructed in the 1204 by family Annibaldi, this tower was brought to life using the construction material from the remains of the nearby Baths of Titus and Domus Aurea. On the southern side of the tower you can see a round recess – this is a closed staircase used to connect the floors of the building. During the Middle Age the tower had a sad fame of being a spot where the hands of the thieves were nailed to the wall, especially of those thought of stealing from the church.

Torre dei Graziani and Torre dei Capocci

If you follow via Cavour, turn onto Via Giovanni Lanza and follow it for a few minutes you will arrive to the Piazza di San Martino Ai Monti, where another two towers are standing opposite each other. A free-standing Torre dei Capocci was constructed with the materials extracted from the Baths of Trajan, and was once surrounded by lower buildings forming a kind of citadel. The buildings were demolished at the end of the 19^th century, thus prompting a reconstruction of the walls below the third floor, creating a slight difference in structure which is still visible today.

Across from the Tower of the Capocci you can see a shorter Tower of the Graziani, which is now incorporated into the surrounding buildings.

Religious edifices

Two out of the four Major basilicas (highest-ranking Roman Catholic churches) are located within the borders of the area of Monti historical district. Besides, there are 50 other churches situated in the neighbourhood. Here we mention the most notable of those.

Santa Maria Maggiore

Basilica of St. Mary Major is a Papal major basilica and the largest Catholic Marian church in Rome. One of the first churches in honour of the Virgin Mary, it was built in the middle of the 5^th century and was added to the list of the Major basilicas in the jubilee year of 1390. Mosaics devoted to Virgin Mary are covering the nave and the triumphal arch and are perfect examples of mosaic art of the 5^th century.

The church still retains the core of its original structure withstanding the earthquake of 1348 and several additional construction projects. The bell tower of the church added in the 14^th century is the highest in Rome at 73 meters. Extensive renovation of the interiors including all of the altars was carried out between 1575 and 1630.

Basilica contains a relic, under the high altar you will find the crystal reliquary said to contain wood from the Holy Crib of the nativity of Christ. To the right of the altar you can see a tomb of the famous Italian sculptor and architect Gian Lorenzo Bernini and his family.

You can visit the Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore every day from 07:00 until 18:45. More information on the Holy Masses can be found here.

San Giovanni in Laterano

The oldest Major Basilica which also ranks the first among all of them is St. John Lateran Archbasilica, “the mother church of the world”, also located in Monti. The Archbasilica stands over the remains of the Roman fort, substantial parts of which lie directly beneath the nave. The official dedication of the basilica happened in 324, when the Papal Cathedra was placed in its and adjacent Lateran Palace’s interior, making it the Cathedral of the Bishop of Rome. During its life time basilica was rebuilt several times after extensive earthquake and damaging fire, that almost totally destroyed it, however, always retaining its ancient form, as the lines of the building were retraced.

Outside the basilica, on the square in front of the Lateran Palace, you can see the largest standing obelisk in the world. It weighs an estimated 455 tons and was placed at its present site in 1588.

Visits to San Giovanni in Laterano are possible daily between 07:00 and 18:30.

San Pietro in Vincoli

The name of this Roman Catholic church translates into English as “Saint Peter in Chains”. The basilica is known for housing a precious relic – in a reliquary under the main altar there are the chains that said to have bound Saint Peter when he was imprisoned in Jerusalem. According to the legend, when Pope Leo I received these chains, he compared them to the ones that were used for Saint Peter’s final imprisonment in Mamertine Prison in Rome, and the two miraculously fused together.

To the right side of the altar you can see an object of pilgrimage for art lovers – Michelangelo’s Moses completed in 1515 as a tomb monument for Pope Julius II.

Basilica of Saint Peter in Chains is open for visits every day between 08:00-12:30 and 15:00-19:00.

Santa Maria ai Monti

The church Santa Maria ai Monti, also known as Madonna dei Monti, is located in the very heart of Monti and is dedicated to the Virgin Mary. The church was commissioned in 1580 when in the ruins of a nearby convent a miraculous 15^th century image of Our Lady with St. Lawrence and St. Stephen was discovered. It now hangs over the high altar.

Outside the church you can find the center of the life of Monti – Piazza Madonna dei Monti. It is a wonderful place for eating your take-away lunch and people-watching.

Santo Stefano Rotondo

Basilica of St. Stephen in the Round on the Celian Hill is an ancient basilica, noted for the fact of being the first in Rome to have a circular plan, which is inspired by the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem. It was first conceived in the middle of the 5^th century and have undergone several renovations over the centuries. Works of art found here include the mosaics from the 7^th century and the frescoes from the 16^th century.

The church can be visited daily between 10:00-13:00. It is also open in the afternoons between 14:00-17:00 in winter months and 15:00-18:00 in summer months.

Santa Pudenziana

The church of Santa Pudenziana, which is also located in Monti, is recognized as the oldest place of Christian worship in Rome. It was built over an ancient Roman house dated to 2^nd century and re-uses part of a bath facility still visible in the structure of the apse. The church housed the residence of the Pope until 313, when it was moved to the Lateran Palace. The most notable feature of the church is the apse with the mosaics, which date from the end of the 4^th century. Although heavily restored during the 16^th century, they represent an excellent example of the late Roman art.

The church can be visited daily from 08:30-12:00/15:00-18:00.

San Carlo alle Quattro Fontane

The church of Saint Charles at the Four Fountains, also called San Carlino, is an iconic masterpiece of Baroque architecture, designed by the architect Francesco Borromini. It was constructed in the mid-17^th century and was dedicated to Saint Charles Borromeo. a leading figure during the Counter-Reformation. The rich interiors of the church are both extraordinary and complex, the dome is decorated with an intricate geometrical pattern from inside.
