The Journey
Pyramid of Cestius
Discover the Pyramid of Cestius, a surprisingly well-preserved Egyptian-style pyramid built in ancient Rome around 18-12 BC. This unique monument offers a glimpse into the Roman fascination with Egyptian culture and serves as the tomb of Gaius Cestius. It's an intriguing landmark in the heart of Rome, providing a fascinating contrast to the city's more traditional Roman architecture.
Baths of Caracalla
Experience the grandeur of the Baths of Caracalla, one of the largest and most impressive thermal bath complexes built in ancient Rome. Constructed in the 2nd century AD, these ruins showcase the opulence of imperial Roman life. Imagine the vast halls, intricate mosaics, and vibrant social scene that once filled these spaces. Today, the Baths offer a breathtaking glimpse into the daily lives of ancient Romans and sometimes host opera performances in the summer.
Church of Domine Quo Vadis
Visit the Church of Domine Quo Vadis, a quaint and historically significant church located on the Appian Way. Legend says that St. Peter, fleeing persecution in Rome, encountered a vision of Jesus on this very spot. Peter asked, 'Domine, quo vadis?' (Lord, where are you going?), to which Jesus replied that he was going to Rome to be crucified again. This encounter prompted Peter's return to Rome and his eventual martyrdom. The church offers a tranquil and contemplative atmosphere, steeped in early Christian history and lore.
Catacombs of Rome
Descend into the depths of the Catacombs of Rome, ancient underground burial places that offer a profound insight into the lives and faith of early Christians. Explore the historic catacombs between San Sebastiano and San Callisto, wandering through the narrow passages lined with tombs and early Christian art. Discover the stories of those who sought refuge and practiced their faith in secret during times of persecution. This journey into the heart of early Christianity is both fascinating and deeply moving.
Mausoleum of Cecilia Metella
Glimpse the Mausoleum of Cecilia Metella, an iconic monument along the ancient Appian Way, dating back to the 1st century BC. This well-preserved cylindrical tomb stands as a testament to the power and wealth of the Roman elite. Admire its imposing structure and imagine the elaborate funerary rituals that once took place here. It's one of the most photographed and recognizable landmarks on the Appian Way, offering a captivating connection to Rome's distant past.
Ancient Appian Way
Walk along the Ancient Appian Way, one of the earliest and most strategically important Roman roads, built in 312 BC. Discover the large stone bases that remain, testaments to the road's remarkable construction. Feel the echoes of history as you traverse this ancient path, imagining the legions, merchants, and travelers who once journeyed along this vital artery of the Roman Empire. The Appian Way offers a unique opportunity to step back in time and connect with Rome's enduring legacy.
Villa of Maxentius
Visit the spectacular Villa of Maxentius, an imperial complex that once belonged to Emperor Maxentius. Explore the ruins of his private circus, imperial residence, and other grand structures, all immersed in the picturesque Appian landscape. Imagine the chariot races and lavish entertainment that unfolded within these walls. The Villa of Maxentius provides a fascinating glimpse into the lives of Roman emperors and the opulence of their private estates.
Porta San Sebastiano
Admire Porta San Sebastiano, one of the best-preserved gates of the Aurelian Walls, built to defend ancient Rome. Marvel at its majestic stone structure, complete with towers and battlements. This imposing gate offers a tangible connection to Rome's defensive architecture and its long history of sieges and triumphs. Explore the museum within the gate to learn more about the Aurelian Walls and their role in protecting the Eternal City.
