Municipio IX, Administrative division in southern Rome, Italy
Municipio IX is an administrative division in southern Rome that encompasses several neighborhoods including Torrino, Spinaceto, and the modern EUR district. The territory spans multiple areas with different character and development patterns, from residential zones to planned urban centers.
The division was created in 2013 through Rome's municipal reorganization, consolidating several neighborhoods under one administration. This restructuring brought together communities that had previously been managed separately.
The territory incorporates two nature reserves, Decima-Malafede and Laurentino-Acqua Acetosa, which preserve local flora and fauna within the urban setting.
The division is located in southern Rome and is accessible by public transportation throughout the area. Visitors should check transit routes in advance since the territory includes multiple separated neighborhoods.
The EUR district contains the Palazzo della Civiltà Italiana, a striking example of Rationalist architecture from the 1930s designed to be a centerpiece of a planned world exposition. Its distinctive arched design remains one of Rome's most recognizable modern structures.
