Via Merulana is steeped in history and culture, offering visitors a captivating journey through the layers of Rome’s past. As you wander along this ancient thoroughfare, you’ll be transported back in time to the days of the Roman Empire, passing architectural marvels and archaeological wonders at every turn.
At one end of Via Merulana stands the majestic Basilica of St. John Lateran, considered the oldest basilica in the Western world and the cathedral of Rome. Its imposing façade and grand interior house priceless works of art and relics, inviting visitors to marvel at centuries of religious devotion and architectural brilliance.
As you continue your stroll, you’ll come across the Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore, a true gem of Romanesque and Baroque architecture. Inside, intricate mosaics depict biblical stories with breathtaking detail, while the ornate chapels and sacred relics offer a glimpse into the city’s spiritual heritage.
But Via Merulana’s charm doesn’t end with its religious landmarks. Along the way, you’ll discover hidden courtyards, quaint piazzas, and artisan workshops where traditional crafts have been practiced for generations. Each cobblestone step stands as a testament to Rome’s enduring legacy, inviting you to uncover the stories etched into its ancient walls and bustling streets.
In essence, Via Merulana is more than just a street—it’s a living museum where history, culture, and tradition converge, offering visitors a truly immersive experience in the heart of the Eternal City.
Monti District: Rome’s version of old Soho. In Rome, Monti is that place, and the comparison is apt—although what Monti lacks in advertising agencies and mustachioed tech guys, it makes up for in creative enclaves, smoky bars, and delicious places to eat.
Nestled right in the heart of the city, bordered by Trajan’s Market to the west and the Quirinale to the north, the long, narrow streets are packed with art galleries, vintage shops, international boutiques, and unique dining options.
This is where young Romans are flocking to live, and where creative innovation is palpable in a city that sometimes feels reserved for tourists seeking the old.
Head to Piazza della Madonna dei Monti, grab a beer, and sit back to watch the exuberant flirting around the fountain. For dinner, try Urbana 47 for innovative dishes and Taverna La Romana for traditional pasta, before grabbing a late-night cocktail at one of the two Black Market bars.
