The Ponte Fabricio, the only original bridge in Rome, connects the island from the northeast to the Field of Mars in the rione Sant'Angelo (left bank). In ancient times, before Christianity spread through Rome, Tiber Island was avoided because of the negative stories associated with it. The Basilica di San Bartolomeo all'Isola on Tiber Island. Tiber Island was once the location of an ancient temple to Aesculapius, the Greek god of medicine and healing. Walls were put around the island, and it came to resemble a Roman ship. In 998 Emperor Otto III had a basilica, that of San Bartolomeo all'Isola, built over the Aesculapius temple's ruins on the eastern side (downstream end) of the island.[1] This was dedicated to his friend, the martyr Adalbert of Prague; the name of St. Bartholomew was added only later.	./cache/en-wikipedia-org-8957.html	./txt/en-wikipedia-org-8957.txt
