Piazza dei Cavalieri di Malta

Piazza dei Cavalieri di Malta, on the Aventine Hill, was designed by the Venetian print-maker Giambattista Piranesi (1720-78), who is much better known for his etchings of Rome. 

The walls on two sides of the piazza sport small obelisks and a set of curious bas-reliefs. 

Piranesi also designed the entrance to the gardens of the Priorato di Malta, on the west side of the piazza. The door boasts the most famous keyhole in Rome.
