The Colle del Borgo was called Acquilis , Ramble O Battery , because of the numerous sources that were in this area that provided water at the surrounding fields; [2] Hence the name of the city, Aquila at the time.

The main civil structure of Borgo Rivera is the former slaughterhouse. Built in the twentieth century as a center for the slaughter and preparation of the meat, it has remained unused since the 90s. The 2009 earthquake damaged the building and this was followed by reconstruction, which started in 2012 and ended in 2015, and the consequent provisional movement in the former slaughterhouse of the National Museum of Abruzzo (Munda), because of the inhabitability of the Castle sixteenth -century.

Rivera Porta

The district is belted to the west by the city walls, dating back to the second foundation of the city in the thirteenth century. Just in Borgo Rivera there is one of the doors that open in the walls, or Rivera Porta, of reference not only for the village but also for the whole quarter of San Giovanni. At the architectural level, the door is a simple round arch made of stone. The walls, also in correspondence with the door, suffered some damage due to the 2009 earthquake, but these were then repaired following a restoration that affected all the walls. [twelfth]

The district is known for the presence, inside, of the fountain of the 99 Cannelle, a symbol of the city of L’Aquila. This fountain was built starting from 1272 on a project by Tancredi da Pentima, but has been remodeled several times, with the addition of different cinnamon. [13] The walls of the fountain are composed of white and red travertine councils, as in ancient times these were the two symbolic colors of the city.

In Borgo Rivera the park of the waters is also present; It is a vast garden of about 5 000 m 2 , [14] inaugurated in 2016, [15] Located near the Fontana of the 99 Cannelle, which the park feeds through its sources. [15]
