Geography of Rome on a Map

Can you guess the landmarks, rioni, hills etc. of Rome? Good luck have fun :D
Icons are hand placed so they might not be in the exact location. Please inform me if they are far off from the actual location.
By 'Rome' we mean Municipio I + the Vatican City | Source since most of the well-known landmarks are located here.

Just some short points:

The Pantheon is not displayed with the 'Religious Place' icon as it is not associated with being used for religious purposes.

Also, thanks to aertzc for the wall, and hills icons!

Have a good day!

Very nice quiz about my hometown.

Just a note: at the top of Spanish steps there is not the Spanish embassy, but a church (Trinità dei Monti, I got married there). It is called Spanish steps, only in English, probably because it starts from Piazza di Spagna.

We call it "Scalinata (steps) di Trinità dei Monti"
