All the most important Museums and Theatres are at a walking distance from us. The Hotel is right next to a bus stop and to the two underground stops from A line (Spagna e Barberini stops), with which you can reach every sight of Rome and the Vatican.
Some Roman History: Etruscans and Greek colonies occupied areas nearby. Rome, capital city of Italy, is one of Europe's treasures. The city is a museum where the present and the past exist together. Almost every building, square and park has its own heritage, steeped in history.
One among the many open-aired museums close to the Hotel San Silvestro is Piazza di Spagna. Original in shape, with a narrowing at the centre which divides it into two parts, almost like a butterfly's wings, since the 17th century it has been the meeting place for travellers coming from all over the world, who could easily arrive here with their carriages.
Thus hotels, shops and cafés began to spring up, where painters, writers, and children of rich families would meet, in an international atmosphere, described in the late 19th century by Gabriele D'Annunzio.
The Piazza was first known as Platea Trinitatis, after the church of Trinitŕ dei Monti overlooking it, it later became Piazza di Spagna, on the right side, in front of the building of the Spanish Embassy, and Piazza di Francia, on the part towards Via del Babuino, one of Rome's most traditional fancy shopping spots.
In 1857, the column of the Virgin was raised in front of the Palazzo di Spagna. It is one of the last monuments of papal Rome, ordered by Pope Pius IX. |
