• Appian Way (Via Appia Antica) - Situated in the park of the same name, the Appian Way preserves a historical, archaeological, and architectural heritage that is unparalleled globally. Walking or cycling among these 2300-year-old extraordinary relics is an unforgettable experience to be cherished at least once in a lifetime.

The Appian Way was conceived in 312 BC by the censor Appio Claudio Cieco, aiming to create a road axis that swiftly connected Rome to Capua for troop movements southwards during the Second Samnite War (326-304 BC). Later, the route was extended to Brindisi to establish direct connections with Greece, the East, and Egypt for military expeditions, travel, and trade. It was the most renowned route in the Roman era: the Regina viarum (the queen of the streets).

• Mausoleo di Cecilia Metella e Castrum Caetani - Parco Archeologico dell’Appia Antica - The tomb was constructed during the reign of Augustus, between 30 and 10 B.C., for the noblewoman Caecilia Metella, as indicated by the large funerary inscription on the top of the mausoleum. Daughter of the Roman consul Quintus Caecilius Metellus, Caecilia was likely also the daughter-in-law of the notable Licinius Crassus, a prominent figure in Roman political life and a member of the first triumvirate along with Caesar and Pompey. The wealth and prestige of her family explain the mausoleum’s dominant position and grandeur.

• Villa di Massenzio - This grand residential villa, located between the third and fourth mile of the Via Appia Antica, is attributed to Emperor Maxentius (306/312 AD), adversary of Constantine the Great in the battle of Ponte Milvio on October 28th, 312. It is one of the most exquisite and impressive archaeological complexes in the Roman countryside. Comprising three separate buildings—the family mausoleum, the circus, and the remains of the Imperial palace—these structures are closed from the outside but interconnected through internal pathways. The most renowned monument in the complex is the circus, the only Roman circus well-preserved in all its architectural components, still retaining its central median strip or spina. Following a significant restoration project completed by the city’s Sovrintendenza, visitors can now explore the mausoleum of Emperor Maxentius’s dynasty, known as the “Tomb of Romulus,” after the emperor’s young son who is presumably buried there.

• Parco degli Acquedotti - Parco Archeologico dell’Appia Antica - This is one of the most captivating parks in Rome, nestled between Via Appia and Via Tuscolana. It spans approximately 240 hectares, encompassing the scenic attractions of the Roman countryside up to the Castelli. The park’s atmosphere feels timeless, especially enchanting in the pink light of sunset when the imposing arches of the Claudio and Felix aqueducts stand out against the sun in all their evocative beauty, framed by pine trees.

Rich in history, the Park of the Aqueducts is one of the green lungs of the city and is part of the Parco Regionale Suburbano dell’Appia Antica. It was a crucial point of connection for the water network of ancient Rome, where the aqueducts that supplied the large patrician villas, spas, and fountains of Rome intersected, joined, and overlapped.

• Parco Della Caffarella - Today, it is an oasis amidst sprawling high-rise buildings, offering a fascinating mix of archaeological and ecological wonders set in a picturesque rural landscape.
