Why Orange Garden matters
Climb the Aventine Hill and you reach the Giardino degli Aranci, a peaceful terrace of orange trees with a great view over Rome. St Peter's dome is clear in the distance. It's a great place to rest and watch the sunset, and just beside it is the famous keyhole in a door that frames the dome.
Talking points
- The garden is full of orange trees.
- St Peter's dome is clearly visible.
- A keyhole nearby frames the dome perfectly.
- It is far quieter than other viewpoints.
