The Aventine Keyhole
For those in the know, this is a popular attraction. Locals bring their visitors here to admire the impressive optical effect created by Piranesi. It doesn't sound that wonderful; some trees and St. Peter's, but few leave uncharmed. Located in the artistic and enigmatic Piazza dei Cavalieri di Malta, a gate bars the entrance to the Priory of the Knights of Malta. Queue up to have a look through the ornate keyhole, and you'll see the Vatican's vast white cathedral floating at the end of a symmetrical tunnel of trimmed trees.

The piazza is placed on the Aventine Hill (Aventino), which is a nice tranquil place to stroll on a sunny day. To reach the keyhole, you follow Via di Santa Sabina from the Circo Massimo (Circus Maximus) past a rose garden, two attractive churches and a couple of delightful panoramic parks. One, a walled garden filled with orange trees, hosts outdoors theatre in the summer months.

Why not have a little cruise around and view the
sights before you go.
This link will take to Via Tacito. Have a stoll
down the street, check out the restaurant.



When the map comes up, copy and paste
Via Tacito 00193 Roma into the search maps box.
A pic of the street will be displayed, click
on 'street view' you should be able to view
and travel down the street, look around 360'
and up and down.
Maybe have a look around other sights in Rome
also.

Google street view...fascinatingthumbs up
