Municipio I, Administrative district in historic center, Italy
Municipio I is Rome's administrative center and encompasses all 22 historic rioni districts as well as areas along the Tiber River. The territory spans a diverse mix of ancient ruins, Renaissance palaces, baroque churches, and modern structures.
The administrative district was established in 2001 and gained its current shape through boundary changes in 2013. This reorganization created a larger center bringing together Rome's most important historical and political zones.
The district houses numerous art museums and contains places frequented for centuries by artists, pilgrims, and visitors alike. Many of these locations still shape how the city looks and how people move through it today.
The area is well connected through Roma Termini and Tiburtina stations along with multiple metro lines. Visitors can reach most major attractions on foot or via short public transit rides.
The territory contains four of Rome's ancient hills - the Palatine, Aventine, Quirinal, and Esquiline. These historic elevations shaped the landscape and continue to influence the modern topography and street layout.
