The Keyhole on Aventine Hill: A Hidden Gem Worth Finding

As the seasons and foliage change, so does the landscape that frames the dome, making the view continuously different and enchanting. The peephole in the door offers a rare glimpse into a space usually off-limits, closed to the public since the Knights of Malta settled in the Villa. The keyhole has become a must-see attraction for tourists and photography enthusiasts, and postcards with the view are even sold. An ordinary door becomes a portal through time, space, and sovereign borders.
