Nymphaeum of the Villa of the Quintili

Highlight • Historical Site

The monumental nymphaeum (sacred building dedicated to a nymph, generally placed near a fountain or a source of water) overlooking the Via Appia Antica was the real entrance to the villa of the Quintili: from here, in fact, through a door that stood between two columns gave access to the park. The changes undergone by the nymphaeum in medieval times transformed it into a small castle owned by the counts of Tusculum, who between the ninth and eleventh centuries were the lords of Lazio, and have completely changed its original appearance. Even today, however, you can see around the nymphaeum a wall on top of which was the aqueduct channel that fed the nymphaeum.

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)

An enchanting path made even more fascinating by the numerous stretches of paving that can be easily avoided by walking along the side paths. The consular is in satisfactory condition up to via di Fioranello, after which the real road disappears and an increasingly bumpy path begins up to Santa Maria delle Mole and ends definitively in Frattocchie.

San Nicola Church at Capo di Bove

Highlight • Religious Site

There is not much left to see except a few wall ruins, but it is a quiet, beautiful corner on the Via Appia Antica.

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.

Appian Way

Highlight • Historical Site

The Via Appia Antica is one of the most famous consular roads in the world. It connects Rome with Brindisi, which was once the gateway to Greece and the East. Great historical facts and age-old legends have taken place along this road. Like the one that sees St. Peter as the protagonist before the foundation of the Basilica of the same name. The paving stone stands imperturbable over time and it is still possible to see the ruts left by the carts that traveled along this road. An impressive feat of engineering considering the times. Walking in the shade of the magnificent and very tall umbrella pines of Rome, one forgets about time and space. A dive into the past in the largest urban park in Europe.
