River Tiber

The River Tiber is Italy’s third-longest river, flowing approximately 252 miles (405 km) from the Apennine Mountains through central Italy, including Rome, into the Tyrrhenian Sea. Historically significant, it has shaped the development of ancient Rome and remains an important waterway for agriculture, industry, and urban life today. The river's basin supports diverse ecosystems, and its waters are used for irrigation and hydroelectric power. Despite pollution challenges, conservation efforts aim to preserve its ecological health. The Tiber’s cultural and historical importance makes it a key feature of Italy’s landscape and heritage.
