Lungotevere Portuense
Lungotevere Portuense as seen from Testaccio
Lungotevere Portuense is the stretch of Lungotevere that links Ponte Sublicio to Ponte Testaccio in Rome (Italy), in the Portuense Quarter.[1]
The Lungotevere takes its name from the ancient Via Portuensis, that led to the city of Portus; it has been established as per Deliberation dated July 20, 1887.[2]
It houses the Papal Arsenal of Ripa Grande, a former boatyard of the Papal Navy, as well as the remains of the 16th-century Villa della Porta Rodiani: the gate is a little structure attributed to Girolamo Rainaldi.
