The Church of St. Francis of Assisi at Ripa is a Baroque-style church located in the Trastevere district. Dedicated to St. Francis of Assisi, it is significant for its connection to the saint, who is believed to have stayed at the adjoining convent during his visits to Rome.
Tiber Island (or Isola Tiberina) is a small island in the Tiber River, situated in the heart of Rome. Shaped like a ship, the island is rich in history and legend.
The Sistine Bridge, known as Ponte Sisto, is a historic bridge in Rome that spans the Tiber River, connecting the Trastevere district to the city center near Campo de' Fiori.
- Piazza Trilussa is a lively square in the Trastevere district, located at the foot of the Ponte Sisto bridge.
