The views from the roof garden will stun and mesmerize you. Once your eyes will get used
to them, you will begin watching and paying more attention to the countless sights which
you can see. The following photos were snapped beginning from the Janiculum hill (west),
and turning around clockwise.
The dome of San Carlo ai Catinari,
with the Paolina Fountain in the Janiculum hill in the background |
The belfry of Santissime Stimmate,
with the equestrian statue of Garibaldi in the Janiculum hill in the background |
| The dome of
San Andrea della Valle (right) with the Janiculum in the background. At the right of the
dome, you can see in the Janiculum the Mancini lighthouse (Faro di M. Mancini). It was
donated by the Italians of Argentina to represent the friendship among the two countries.
From it one can have the most complete views of Rome. |
