By far the most suggesting view of the Rome, Gianicolo is one of the 7 hills of Rome, right above Trastevere, the most Roman neighborhood of the city. Every day at noon a cannon shot is fired from above. When you climb the hill, stop at the so-called Fontanone, one of the most famous fountains in Rome: it is the arrival of the Acqua Paola aqueduct renovated in 1610 by Pope Paul V who restored the aqueduct built by Emperor Trajan in the year 109 to bring good water to Trastevere.
The equestrian statue of the General Garibaldi looks at the Campidoglio from the top of the Gianicolo Hill.
