The Prow of Trastevere

Trastevere means "across the Tiber," and this district has always lived that way: with its back to the power on the other bank, with its own saints, its own god of medicine, and an island shaped like a ship in the middle of the river. You'll count the sides of Rome's oldest fountain, hunt for a snake carved in stone, and look closely at a saint who has been sleeping in marble for centuries. It's about 3 km, flat, almost always by the water.

A sneak peek

“That 13th-century mosaic shows the enthroned Virgin nursing the Child. Around her stands a row of women, each holding an oil lamp: two hold theirs unlit, the rest lit. Not counting the Virgin, how many women are there in total?”

This is what the puzzles are like. The rest unlocks once you start playing.
