Janiculum
The Janiculum, occasionally known as the Janiculan Hill, is a hill in western Rome, Italy. Although it is the second-tallest hill in the contemporary city of Rome, the Janiculum is not considered among the proverbial Seven Hills of Rome, as it is west of the Tiber river and outside the boundaries of the ancient city.
