Orange Tree Garden
The Garden of Orange Trees is the name used in Rome to describe the Savello Park. It covers an area of about 7800 square meters and is located on the Aventine Hill.
The park offers a beautiful view of the city. The garden as it is today was designed in 1932 by Raffaele De Vico. It was built in order to provide public access to the view from the hillside, creating a new ‘belvedere’, which will be added to the existing viewing platforms in Rome from the Pincian Hill and the Janiculum.
The garden, whose name comes from the many bitter orange trees growing there, stretches on the territory of an ancient fortress built next to the Basilica of Santa Sabina by the Savelli family between 1285 and 1287, which, in turn, was built over an old castle built by the Crescentii in the tenth century. The garden borders the wall that once surrounded the Savelli Castle, and other remains of the castle can also still be seen.
