What you'll see
The Orange Garden's terrace looks across the Tiber to St Peter's dome. Up the road, a keyhole in a green door frames the same dome at the end of a garden avenue.
A brief history
The Aventine is one of Rome's seven hills. The keyhole belongs to the Villa del Priorato di Malta, a seat of the Sovereign Military Order of Malta, which Italy treats as extraterritorial.
