Schematic map of Rome showing the seven hills and Servian wall

The Viminal Hill (Latin Collis Viminalis, Italian Viminale) is the smallest of the famous seven hills of Rome. A finger-shape cusp pointing toward central Rome between the Quirinal Hill to the northwest and the Esquiline Hill to the southeast, it is home to the Teatro dell'Opera and the Termini Railway Station. At the top of Viminale Hill there is the palace of Viminale that hosts the headquarters of the powerful Ministry of Interior; currently the term Il Viminale means the ministry of Interior.
