Via Appia, Appian Way
Italy, Rome
The Appian Way is the most significant of the ancient public roads of Rome. The road, laid in 312 BC. e. under the censor Appius Claudius Caeca, passed from Rome to Capua, later it was carried to Brundisium. Through it, communication between Rome and Greece, Egypt and Asia Minor was established.

Along the Appian Way there are many monuments: tombs and villas of the republican and imperial period, Christian and Jewish catacombs, medieval towers and fortifications, often built on the ruins of Roman monuments, Renaissance and Baroque buildings.

Exclusively for lovers of the history of Ancient Rome. View the mausoleum of Romulus, Circus Maxentius. I can brag. that she walked the Via Appia from the tomb of Cicilia Metella along VIa Appia Antica to the Port of San Sebastiano. I don’t recommend repeating, it’s really a lot to go, and the reason is banal - there was no bus (and while it was still there).
