Trastevere means “over the Tiber”. This place is segregated from the heart of central Rome by the river Tiber. This place managed to retain the narrow under developed lanes and their working-class population while the rest of Rome expanded in the nineteenth-century.
Trastevere is the centre of attraction for tourists. All the internet cafes exist side-by-side with the gloomy ancient premises. Tourists are free to select from trendy bars and traditional chocolate shops. Despite the influx of foreign money, Trastevere has managed to retain it’s maintain individuality.
Piazza di Santa Maria in Trastevere is the heart of the place. The place is a square piazza lined with inexpensive eateries and expensive bars, faded palazzi, and the church of Santa Maria in Trastevere. The flights of steps round the beautiful central fountain are popular hang-out spots for tourists who can find some jugglers over there.
Walking up the lane to the right of the church one can find the winding, narrow lanes at the very heart of Trastevere. The southern part of Viale Trastevere is a much quieter place and there are several restaurants that dishes out mouth watering cuisines at an outdoors table set in a wonderful locale. The church of Santa Cecilia in Trastevere is among the mostly visited churches in Rome. By the altar there is the statue of the patron saint of music, martyred St. Cecilia. This statue remained undismayed in her coffin in the sixteenth-century. Isola Tiberina or the Tiber Island is a short walk away from the place.
