This is one of the 7 founding hills in Rome and is located the farthest south of the city.  This hill was a two part hill called the " Aventine" and " smaller aventine"  which divided the area between the Tiver river and the valley where Circus Maximus begins. The religious influence continued throughout the middle ages when the ancient temples were converted to ancient Roman churches such as Saint Sabina on the Aventine, Saint Saba and Saint maria of the Priory, which are still present today on the hill.     http://www.welcometorome.net/en/about-rome/history/seven-hills

Campidoglio Hill, is another of the seven hills of Rome located between the Tiber and Roman Forum. The architecture of Capitoline Hill has changed over the centuries starting with the reinforcement wall that was built to defend the city against the Gauls in 390 BC. This wall had several doors, one of which opened to connect the Capitoline with the Roman Forum.     http://www.welcometorome.net/en/about-rome/history/seven-hills

The Palantine Hill, name comes from Pale the god of shepards.  It is one of the oldest sites in Rome, located between the Roman Forum and Circus Maximus.
