Lungotevere degli Anguillara is the stretch of Lungotevere that links Piazza Giuseppe Gioachino Belli to Lungotevere degli Alberteschi in Rome (Italy), in the Rione Trastevere.[1]

The Lungotevere takes its name from the powerful House of Anguillara (lords in Rome until the end of 15th century), that owned a palace and a tower in the area.

Until 1886 the name of the Lungotevere was Cestio, due to its vicinity to Ponte Cestio, that links the Lungotevere to Tiber Island.
