Tiber Island, River island in Tiber River, Rome, Italy.

Located between Trastevere and Centro Storico districts, this boat-shaped island extends 270 meters in length and 67 meters in width within the Tiber River.

Following a severe plague in 291 BCE, Romans constructed a temple to Aesculapius on the island, establishing its connection with medical treatment and healing.

The Church of San Bartolomeo, built in 998 CE over the ancient temple ruins, contains religious artworks and architectural elements from multiple periods.

Two ancient bridges, Ponte Fabricio from 62 BCE and Ponte Cestio, provide access to the island from both sides of Rome.

The island's travertine stone embankment was carved to resemble a ship, complete with a central stone mast and decorative elements.
