    Right rond the corner is a very unassuming hill, that is circled by night clubs. That hill is the oldest mass garbage disposal we know of.

    It’s called monte Testaccio where millions of Roman amphorae used for olive oil were discarded. The hill played an important role in religious festivities.

    Quite a fun landmark in this area of the city. It’s easy to miss, as it’s Rome and there’s important history on every corner.
