Lungotevere Prati Explained

Lungotevere Prati is the stretch of Lungotevere that links Via Ulpiano to Via Vittoria Colonna in the rione Prati in Rome (Italy).[1]

Overview

The Lungotevere takes its name from the neighboring area, formerly called prata (Latin for "meadows") due to the presence of large green spaces mainly inhabited by peasants; it was established as per resolution dated July 20, 1887.[2]

Along the Lungotevere rises the Neo-Gothic Chiesa del Sacro Cuore del Suffragio, built by Giuseppe Gualandi between 1894 and 1917.
