The Aventine Keyhole
 Aventine Hill Key Hole, Snow in Rome by Stefano Costantini
Rome was famously built on seven hills, and Aventine Hill is the Southernmost of the seven. The property was originally owned by the Knights Templar until their defeat in the fifteenth century. It is currently owned by the Knights of Malta, and continues to boast one of the greatest vantage points over the magnificent city below.
Atop the Aventine Hill awaits an unassuming door with a rusted keyhole that has become a popular stop for visitors searching for something out of the ordinary. Peering through the Aventine Keyhole, one sees straight through the garden arch with a flawless and breathtaking glimpse of St. Peter’s Basilica. This is one of the world’s only keyholes that can take you somewhere marvelous without ever opening the door. |
