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 leaded to the city of Portus; it has been established as per Deliberation dated 20 July 1887.^[2]

It houses the Papal Arsenal of Ripa Grande, a former boatyard of the Papal Navy, and the remains of the 16th-century Villa della Porta Rodiani: the gate is a little structure attributed to Girolamo Rainaldi.
