San Saba

San Saba features wide streets lined with trees, semi-detached houses, and small apartment blocks designed for middle-class residents in the early 1900s.

Eastern monks from Palestine established a monastery at this location around 645 AD, introducing their religious practices and diplomatic connections with Constantinople.

The district roads carry names of notable architects and artists, while the brick-covered buildings maintain a connection with the ancient monastery walls.

Piazza Gian Lorenzo Bernini serves as the main community center with an elementary school, market, theater, park, and recreational facilities.

The area remained primarily countryside until 1909, when the municipality initiated a residential development plan focusing on small-scale housing structures.
