Tiber Island

Machiavelli and Ezio on one of Tiber Island's bridges.

Tiber Island (Italian: Isola Tiberina) was an island located on the Tiber River, in central Rome. During the early 16^th century, the island served as the headquarters of the Assassin Order in Rome, and as a base of operations for Ezio Auditore's war against the Borgia.

While Ezio went out to undermine the Borgia's rule over Rome, Niccolò Machiavelli stayed on the island, training new Assassin recruits sent to him by Ezio. The island itself also featured a bank, a pigeon coop and four shops, a blacksmith, art merchant, doctor and a tailor.

The building was initially a storage room owned by Fabio Orsini, but it was given to Niccolò out of Fabio's wish to gain freedom from the Borgia. Externally, the headquarters was a very tall but largely unassuming building, which could be entered from either its roof, the street, or through the Tiber river.
