Tiber Island (Isola Tiberina)

Nestled in the Tiber River, which has flowed through Rome since ancient times, Tiber Island (Isola Tiberina) carries a rich history. Once home to the temple of Aesculapius, the Greek god of medicine, the island has been a place of healing for centuries. Today, it continues this tradition with one of Rome’s main hospitals situated here.
