The Janiculum (/dʒəˈnɪkjʊləm/ jə-NIK-yuu-ləm; Italian: Gianicolo [dʒaˈniːkolo]), occasionally known as the Janiculan Hill, is a hill in western Rome, Italy. Although it is the second-tallest hill (the tallest being Monte Mario) 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.
