Park of the Aqueducts

Highlight • Monument

One of the most fascinating parks in Rome is enclosed between Via Appia and Via Tuscolana and extends for about 240 hectares, between the scenic attractions of the Roman countryside up to the Castles and an atmosphere suspended in time, especially enjoyable in the pink light of sunset, when the imposing arches of the Claudio aqueduct and the Felice aqueduct, framed by pine trees, stand out against the sun in all their evocative and evocative beauty.
Rich in history, the Parco degli Acquedotti is one of the green lungs of the city, its name derives from the fact that here was the fundamental hub of the water network of ancient Rome, a point where the aqueducts intersected, joined and overlapped which supplied the capital, the immense patrician villas, the thermal baths and the fountains with water.
In the area there are seven aqueducts: the Anio Vetus, the Anio Novus, the Aqua Marcia, the Tepula, the Iulia aqueduct, the Aqua Claudia aqueduct and the Felice aqueduct, still functioning, built in 1585. by Pope Sixtus V, Felice Peretti, on the arches of the Marcio Aqueduct. In addition to the aforementioned aqueducts, in this area there are other interesting ancient buildings, including the Villa delle Vignacce, the old Roma farmhouse and the Villa dei Sette Bassi.
Strolling around the park means allowing yourself a few hours of complete relaxation away from the chaos of the city, among paths lined with streams, waterfalls, trees and pastures, and obviously immerse yourself in the atmosphere of the Rome of the past.
The Parco degli Acquedotti, as it is made, is one of the most instagrammable places in Rome… not to be missed.

Caffarella Valley

Highlight • Natural

The Caffarella Valley extends for about 190 hectares between the Aurelian Walls, Via Latina and Via dell’Almone. The name derives from the main historic estate of the Caffarelli family, who built the farmhouse called della Vaccareccia here around the sixteenth century, still present in the park.
The valley is crossed by the Almone river and hosts numerous archaeological remains of tombs, villas, towers and hydraulic works. The Roman quarry of the Appia Antica extends for several kilometers in the subsoil of the Caffarella Valley, which can only be visited with a guide on weekends and holidays.

Mausoleum of Cecilia Metella

Highlight • Historical Site

The Mausoleum of Cecilia Metella is a grandiose Roman funerary monument dedicated to a wealthy Roman matron, a member of one of the most important noble families of the time. The complex was built between 30 and 10 BC. and reused in medieval times as a tower of a perfectly preserved castle. The residential part of the fortification houses the "Appia Museum", a collection of statues, sarcophagi, inscriptions and reliefs from the Via Appia Antica and relating to the rich funerary monuments that overlooked it.

Appian Way

Highlight (Segment) • Historical Site

The Via Appia Antica is therefore a road with reduced traffic (and almost completely closed to traffic on Sundays), constituting a route of indisputable charm for cyclists who want to travel it. In fact, you cycle for long stretches in a very special atmosphere, among ancient funerary monuments and beautiful pine trees immersed in the Roman countryside, and in some places it is easy to think that you have stepped back in time. As if that weren't enough, from the Appia Antica it is very easy to make a detour to the beautiful Caffarella park, a vast natural area that is hard to believe can be found in the middle of Rome.
Starting from the center of Rome, the Appia Antica runs from its own location to the town of Frattocchie, where it rejoins the new Appia.

Via Appia Antica (Ancient Appian Way)

Highlight • Historical Site

The first suburban miles of Via Appia Antica in southeastern Rome are a Grade I archeological site and a popular recreational area. The road and its surroundings are protected as a regional park from the further approach of suburban development. As an arterial road, the Appia was in antiquity lined with tombs, estates and spas. In addition to numerous aboveground monuments on the edge of the road are some excavations and the entrances to several early Christian catacombs. (Source: Wikipedia)

At the passage under the bridge, take the left side (if you come from Rome) and vice versa, as it is wider.
