In the game
A walled island in the Tiber where Ezio's Assassins keep a hideout tower.
The real place
Tiber Island has been linked to healing since ancient times; a hospital, the Fatebenefratelli, still stands on it. The medieval Torre della Pulzella, a remnant of the Caetani fortifications, guards the bridge to Trastevere.
Visiting
Cross the Ponte Fabricio, built in 62 BC and the oldest Roman bridge still in its original state. In summer the riverbanks host an open-air cinema.
