Via Appia Antica
-
“The Queen of Roads” was completed in 312 BC by Appius Claudius, also the architect of Rome’s first aqueduct. The most pastoral part begins at the circular Tomb of Cecilia Metella, which was made into a fortification in the Middle Ages. Starting here, you’ll see more tombs and fragments of tombs, as well as grazing sheep and the private gates to fabulous modern-day villas. As you walk along, look to the east to see the arches of an ancient aqueduct marching towards the city (see Appian Way on a Sunday).
