Martin M. Miles' photos with the keyword: Tiber

The "Isola Tiberina" is the only island in the Tiber river which runs through Rome. Two bridges connect the island to the rest of Rome since ancient times. Already in the 3rd century BC a Temple of Aesculapius, the Greek god of medicine and healing, was located here. Emperor Otto III, the son of Theophanu, had a basilica built over the ruins of the Aesculapius temple. The Hospitaller Order of St. John founded a hospital on the island in 1584. This hospital is still operating. Yes, the same island as seen on the previous upload, but now in late afternoon on an overcast day - from the east.
