Love Touring Rome, Italy – Aurelio District Hotels Article by Levi Reiss

Aurelio district is a large area, quiet, southwest of Rome. Its name comes from the famous Via Aurelia, which was the main artery connecting Rome with Spain. Aurelio includes the beautiful park of Villa Pamphili, whose centerpiece is a country house of the seventeenth century decorated with statues and bas-relief sculptures. Another highlight is the church of St. Pancras by Pope Symmachus built about 1,500 years ago in honor of the martyr Pancratio. The walls of the Vatican were built around the same time to help defend the Vatican. Be sure to check Porta and Porta Fabbrica Pertusa. Via Piccolomini offers a splendid view of the dome of St. Peter. For your convenience we have listed hotels in the neighborhood in rough order of costs, starting with the least expensive.
