Ponte Sant'Angelo
The building lies in rione Ponte, at the top of "Monte Giordano", an artificial hill located southeast of Ponte Sant'Angelo. It came into being in the Roman era, created from the rubble produced by the nearby Harbour of the Marbles on the Tiber. It can be reached by a staircase which is part of Via di San Simone, a side lane of Via dei Coronari overlooking the south side of the church of San Salvatore in Lauro. The church could once also be accessed on the southwest side, from Via della Vetrina.
