One of the most peculiar aspect of Roman civilization is the care for what nowadays its call infrastructures and services. Romans roads pride of Romans engineers would link the capital to the entire empire up to its most remote borders. In this tour we will walk on the part of Via Appia that leads towards the outskirts of town following the ancient path. Another Roman civilization’s visible sign are the Aqueducts that guaranteed the town's water supplies. Their impressive skeletons characterize the landscape around town. Next, we will explore the catacombs in their evocative twilight. Rome's ground is made of tender volcanic rock that allowed to dig tunnels and subterranean. Therefore, it is still possible to go underground and visit the old cemeteries so widespread and deep to arouse continuous marvel.
St. Callisto Catacombs The catacombs of St. Callixtus are among the greatest and most important of Rome. They originated about the middle of the second century and are part of a cemeterial complex which occupies an area of 90 acres, with a network of galleries about 12 miles long, in four levels, more than twenty meters deep.
Aqueducts Park The Roman aqueduct was a channel used to transport fresh water to highly populated areas. As water flowed into the cities, it was used for drinking, irrigation, and to supply hundreds of public fountains and baths. Roman aqueduct systems were built over a period of about 500 years, from 312 B.C. to A.D. 226
Ancient Appian Way The Appian Way was a Roman road used as a main route for military supplies since its construction for that purpose in 312 BC. The Appian Way was the first long road built specifically to transport troops outside the smaller region of greater Rome (this was essential to the Romans).
