Rome, Emblem Of Borgo District Royalty-Free Stock Photo

Borgo sometimes called also I Borghi is the 14th historic district rione of Rome, Italy. It lies on the west bank of the Tiber, within Municipio I, and it has a trapezoidal shape. Its coat of arms shows a lion after the name `Leonine City`, which was also given to the district, lying in front of three mounts and a star. These – together with a lion rampant – are also part of the coat of arms of Pope Sixtus V, who annexed Borgo as the 14th rione of Rome. Borgo is bordered by Vatican City Saint Peter`s Square to the west, the Tiber to the east, Prati to the north, the quartiere Aurelio to the southwest and Trastevere to the south
