Tiber Island, the only river island of the Tiber in Rome, has been connected by bridges to both riversides since time immemorial and by the Fabricio and the Cestio in modern-day Rome. Today, to protect Tiber Island from the current, the “bows” have been extended right up to one of the pillars of Garibaldi Bridge. You can still see some ancient buildings, such as the Caetani tower, which dates back to the Middle Ages, and the Church of San Bartolomeo, which was built at the site of the Temple of Esculapius. Unfortunately, nothing is left of the 10th-century church as it was almost entirely rebuilt in the 17th Century.
