Lungotevere in Sassia

Lungotevere in Sassia and the Ospedale di Santo Spirito in Sassia

Lungotevere in Sassia is the stretch of Lungotevere that links Piazza della Rovere to Via San Pio X in Rome (Italy), in the Rione Borgo.^[1]

The Lungotevere takes its name from the Schola Saxonum, a numerous Saxon community that settled in the Leonine City at King Ine's suite; it has been established as per deliberation dated July 20, 1887.^[2]

Along the Lungotevere rises the monumental complex of Ospedale di Santo Spirito in Sassia, an ancient hospital along with its church, next to a modern medical centre.
