The Journey
Appian Way (Via Appia Antica)
Step back in time along the Appian Way, the 'Queen of Roads,' a historical artery dating back to 312 BC. Commissioned by Appius Claudius Caecus, this ancient Roman highway once connected Rome to Capua and later extended to Brindisi, facilitating military and trade routes to Greece and the East. Today, the Appian Way offers a unique journey through history. Walk or cycle among the remarkably preserved 2300-year-old stones, passing by ancient tombs, catacombs, and the ruins of villas. The sense of history underfoot and the surrounding pastoral landscape make it an unforgettable experience.
Tomb of Caecilia Metella
Marvel at the Tomb of Caecilia Metella, an imposing mausoleum built between 30 and 10 B.C. for the noblewoman Caecilia Metella. As the daughter of Roman consul Quintus Caecilius Metellus and daughter-in-law of the influential Licinius Crassus, Caecilia's family wealth and prestige are evident in the tomb's monumental scale and prominent location. The massive, cylindrical structure provides a tangible connection to the lives of Rome's elite during the Augustan era, offering a glimpse into their burial customs and social status.
