Which city was built on top of seven hills?

Sheffield, Edinburgh and, more famously, Ancient Rome were all cities built on seven hills.
The Quirinal, Palatine, Esquiline and Capitoline were four of the latter.

Rome of course, but also Lisbon.

Historically, Rome is the answer to this question.

But, other cities have also taken the moniker over the years.

What does Sheffield have in common with Rome and Amman? All three are built on seven hills.

Amman, Jordan
Amman is built on seven hills, or jabals, each of which more or less defines a neighborhood. http://www.kinghussein.gov.jo/tourism1.html

Lisbon was rebuilt after a major 18th-century earthquake levelled many parts of it. It has also survived a shrinking empire, dictatorship and revolution. Today it is a relaxed, easy-to-see city which, like Rome, is built on seven hills. worldfacts.us/Portugal-Lisbon.htm http://www.smh.com.au/articles/2003/11/04/1067708176587.html

Kampala, Uganda

In praise of Uganda's new capital, the colonialists described Kampala to London as "a very beautiful, legendary city built on seven hills like ancient Rome." Although it now spreads over more than 20 hills, it is still sometimes referred to as the city of seven hills. The legendary seven hills are Mengo, Lubaga, Namirembe, Old Kampala, Kibuli, Nakasero and Makerere.

Cincinnati

. Cincinnati's connection with Rome still exists today through its nickname of "The City of Seven Hills" [3] (a phrase commonly associated with Rome) and the town twinning program of Sister Cities International.

Rome.

Physically and Biblically.

Revelation 12:3 - And another portent appeared in heaven; behold, a great red dragon, with seven heads and ten horns, and seven diadems upon his heads.

Revelation 17:9 - This calls for a mind with wisdom: the seven heads are seven mountains on which the woman is seated;

It is believed by Revelatory Scholars that the Seven Heads are a description of Rome with the Ten Horns being ten World leaders. Some will even go as far as to say the Vatican and a new, unified World leadership group.

"Y'rushalayim - harim saviv lah", "Jerusalem has mountains around her." Ancient Jerusalem was built between seven hills, which are included in the municipal boundries of modern Jerusalem.

Liverpool is also reputed to be built on seven hills, but I can't remember all of them. There's Copperas Hill, Low Hill, and Mount Pleasant to start with...

Jerusalem, built on a series of limestone and sandstone hills in the Judean range at approx 800m above sea level.

The hills in question are: The Palatine, the Capitoline, the Quirinal, the Aventine, the Esquiline, the Caelian, and the Viminal -- the one that everyone forgets.

Contrary to the belief of some, the Janiculum across the Tiber and above Trastevere is not one of the Seven Hills, but it's a very nice place to visit -- and to live.

Seven is a lucky number in various cultures. So some cities claim they have seven hills but may have far more or less than this.
