Esquilino District in the historic center of Rome

The district "Esquilino" where the B&B is located, is very nice, safe and noiseless , safe neighborhood with the police station  just around the corner. You won't have any troubles walking around at 1am.

 

Just 5 minutes walk to the heart of the Esquilino district: the Piazza Vittorio Emanuele II, a large circular square with beautiful arcades, the largest square in Rome (316 meters x 174), built when the city became the capital of the Kingdom of Italy (1870) characterized by 280 columns rise that are inspired by the architecture of the late Renaissance.

A Via Tasso from September 1943 to June 1944 was established the site of the prisons of the German Security Police. The rooms of the street number 145 were imprisoned hundreds of opponents, Jews, partisans, etc. 

It was the Princess Josepha Ruspoli, who owned the building, immediately after the war, to donate it to the state and hoped that it could became the Museum of the Liberation.
