The Tiber Island (Italian: Isola Tiberina, Latin: Insula Tiberina) is the only island in the Tiber river which runs through Rome. Tiber island is located in the southern bend of the Tiber.
The island is boat-shaped, approximately 270 m long and 67 m wide, and has been connected with bridges to both sides of the river since antiquity. Being a seat of the ancient temple of Asclepius and later a hospital, the island is associated with medicine and healing.
The island has been linked to the rest of Rome by two bridges since antiquity, and was once called Insula Inter-Duos-Pontes which means "the island between the two bridges". The Ponte Fabricio, the only original bridge in Rome, connects the island from the northeast to the Field of Mars in the rione Sant'Angelo (left bank). The Ponte Cestio, of which only some original parts survived, connects the island to Trastevere on the south (right bank).
There is a legend which says that after the fall of the hated tyrant Tarquinius Superbus (510 BC), the angry Romans threw his body into the Tiber. His body then settled onto the bottom where dirt and silt accumulated around it and eventually formed Tiber Island. Another version of the legend says that the people gathered up the wheat and grain of their despised ruler and threw it into the Tiber, where it eventually became the foundation of the island.

ISOLA TIBERINA, Roma, Lazio, Italia. L'Isola Tiberina (anche nota come Insula Tiberina, Insula Tiberis, Insula Aesculapi, Isola dei Due Ponti, Licaonia, Isola di San Bartolomeo, o semplicemente Insula), nata in modo alluvionale è l'unica isola urbana del Tevere nel centro di Roma. Nella Forma Urbis Severiana aveva nome di "inter duos pontes". La leggenda vuole che l'isola si sia formata nel 510 a.C. dai covoni (i fasci di spighe) del grano mietuto a Campo Marzio di proprietà del re Tarquinio il Superbo al momento della rivolta: alcuni studi proverebbero che l'isola ha origini molto anteriori all'evento. Poco coinvolta nelle vicissitudini della città, per questa ragione ospitò il tempio di Esculapio, dio della medicina, il cui culto fu introdotto nel 292 a.C. in seguito ad una pestilenza. N...

Roma, 25.06.2017 Isola Tiberina - Allarme siccità. Tevere in secca?
Situata nell'Isola Tiberina, area considerata parte del nucleo originario della città di Roma, la Basilica di San Bartolomeo all'Isola ha una lunga storia. Nel luogo dove ora c'è la basilica vi era, in epoca imperiale romana, un antico tempio di Esculapio, dove giungevano malati da tutta la città per chiedere guarigione.

Take a tour of Tiber Island in Rome, Italy - part of the World's Greatest Attractions travel video series by GeoBeats. Those seeking to be healed should venture to Tiber Island, an islet in the Tiber River of Italy with a history of healing powers. The island is shaped like a ship and is connected to mainland Rome by two bridges. During a great plague in Rome, the government decided to build a temple to the Greek god of healing and medicine on the island. The Temple of Aesculapius was eventually replaced by a Catholic church, but its modern equivalent, a hospital, was built in 1584 and is still open today. Tiber Island is one of two aits, or small islands, in the city of Rome. Other Greek and Roman features built on the island have been replaced by crosses and spires...

This time we travelled to Rome with Jet2CityBreaks on a well-planned package break. This was pretty unusual for us as we wouldn’t usually take package breaks, but with com...

Rome had a gorgeous hot day for me in store on June 11, 2010. In the morning I used up the remainder of my sightseeing bus ticket which was good for 24 hours and after rolling past the Colosseum I exited on the Piazza Bocca della Verita and strolled across the Tiber River on the Ponte Palatine. I wanted to check out the Isola Tiberina, the only island in the Tiber River, which today houses the Fatebenefratelli Hospital. On the way there I was admiring the Smart Cars that were parked sideways in tiny parking spots along the Tiber River. Back on the left bank of the Tiber I continued up to the Piazza Giovanni XII and up the Via della Conciliazione until I was standing on the large square right in front of Saint Peter's Basilica. Thousands of people were attending mass, and a policeman conf...

Trastevere, the name means "beyond the Tiber" and describes the location of the district on the west bank of the Tiber. Narrow winding streets and hardly any traffic are the typical features of these quarters that make it particularly attractive for tourists. Archways, blind alleys, residential buildings full of corners form pretty photo motives, of which there are countless. The high density of churches points out that it has always been this is a densely populated residential area. We reach Trastevere across the Pons Fabricius, the Tiber Island and the Pons Cestius. There we keep to the left and through picturesque lanes we arrive at Saint Cecilia, the patroness of musicians, died a martyr's death here. First one tried to scald her, as it miscarries, she was beheaded. Later one built thi...
