Municipio XI, Administrative division in western Rome, Italy
Municipio XI is an administrative division in western Rome that encompasses the neighborhoods of Marconi, Portuense, and Trullo. It spans a large area and contains a mix of older residential blocks and more recent developments.
The area was created through an administrative reform in 2013 when Rome restructured its municipal organization and reduced the number of subdivisions from 19 to 15. This reorganization merged several existing areas together.
The Portuense district remains a place where residents gather at traditional markets to buy fresh produce and local goods. These markets shape daily routines and create natural meeting points for the community.
The area is well connected by public transportation with multiple bus routes and metro access throughout the neighborhoods. Visitors can explore local markets and streets on foot, though some areas are more walkable than others.
The area displays an interesting layering of ancient Roman remains alongside residential buildings from different decades. These temporal layers make it engaging for visitors interested in how the city has evolved over time.
