It connected Rome to some of its most distant settlements. Originally built by Appius Claudius Caecus, the then-censor of Rome, the road connected Rome to Capua near Naples.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The road was originally built predominantly for military purposes, meaning Julius Caesar walked it along with thousands of other soldiers, leaders and consuls. Christians converts were buried along the route and the famous slave leader Spartacus was crucified on the via Appia in 71 BC.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Eventually, it extended more than 300 miles to Brindisi, Puglia on the Adriatic Coast, making it the widest and longest road in existence at the time. Called the \u201cQueen of Roads,\u201d its construction was truly momentous, especially considering it was built in 312 BC.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even compared to many of the other best attractions in Rome, The Appian Way is incredibly well-preserved. It\u2019s made of large, flat stones, which have been firmly set in place by thousands of years of rain, wheels, and feet passing over them. When you touch them, you are walking in the footsteps of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.walksofitaly.com\/blog\/art-culture\/the-list-of-craziest-ancient-roman-emperors\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Roman emperors<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, merchants, saints and maybe even St. Peter.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The initial ten miles of the Appian Way, renowned for their historical significance and scenic beauty, have been incorporated into a regional park called <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.parcoappiaantica.it\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Parco dell\u2019Appia Antica<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, ensuring the preservation and protection of the road and its encompassing monuments.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_20428\" style=\"width: 1210px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-20428\" class=\"wp-image-20428 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.walksofitaly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/52879608268_e611f83b59_kres.jpg\" alt=\"Large wall aqueduct structure in a park in Rome\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.walksofitaly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/52879608268_e611f83b59_kres.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.walksofitaly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/52879608268_e611f83b59_kres-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-20428\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">To the southeast of Rome, lies the Parco degli Acquedotti, an integral part of the larger Appian Way Regional Park.

Legend has it that this is the spot where Peter saw a vision of Christ when he was fleeing Nero\u2019s persecution in 64 AD. He asked Christ, \u201c<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Domine, quo vadis?<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201d or \u201cLord, where are you going?\u201d Jesus responded that he was going to Rome to be crucified anew, prompting Peter to accept his fate and return to Rome to become a martyr. Inside the church is the stone that supposedly has the footprints of Jesus. There\u2019s also a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.walksofitaly.com\/blog\/art-culture\/renaissance-frescoes-in-italy-beyond-michelangelo-sistine-chapel\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">fresco<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> of Peter on the left wall and one of Jesus on the right.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Two major Christian <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.walksofitaly.com\/blog\/art-culture\/spookiest-catacombs-capuchin-crypt-torture-cells-italy\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">catacombs<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> are located directly after the church: The Catacombs of San Sebastiano and the slightly larger Catacombs of San Callisto. They\u2019re the burial sites for many of the early popes and some of the best attractions in Rome in their own right.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nearby there\u2019s also the enormous tomb of Cecilia Metella, the daughter-in-law of Rome\u2019s richest man. Although this tomb doesn\u2019t show up on many normal tours, it\u2019s definitely one of the best attractions in Rome (or <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">just <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">outside of it).\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A little ways past Cecilia\u2019s mausoleum is the Circus Maxentius, one of the best-preserved Roman imperial circuses. It\u2019s a large arena where chariot races were once held, right next to the remains of Emperor Maxentius\u2019 large villa.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">From here you can walk or bike for miles along the ancient Roman highway, passing gorgeous fields strewn with historic tombs and ancient Roman ruins, all nearly unchanged since the 4th century.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Though eventually about 30 other roads fanned out from Rome (truly giving meaning to the saying \u201call roads lead to Rome\u201d) the Ancient Appian Way was the first and greatest, another surviving testament to the mighty Roman Empire.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_20435\" style=\"width: 1210px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-20435\" class=\"wp-image-20435 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.walksofitaly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/52888626610_76bffcfe15_kres.jpg\" alt=\"Animals along The Appian Way\" width=\"1200\" height=\"900\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.walksofitaly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/52888626610_76bffcfe15_kres.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.walksofitaly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/52888626610_76bffcfe15_kres-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-20435\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">While visiting The Appian Way, you might encounter some local wildlife.
