What You Will Do
The Roman aqueducts stand today, more than two thousand years later, as a testament to the engineering genius of the ancient Romans. These massive structures not only boggle the human mind as to how they were constructed but their function and reliability are still a modern marvel. In fact, some aqueducts remain operational to this day. Walking through the modern city of Rome one will come across these monumental arched structures that often cross streets and avenues. Just outside the city, between Via Appia Antica and Via Appia Nuova, lies the Villa dei Quintili which offers its visitors the possibility of an outdoor walk through the remains of this magnificent Roman villa. In the area surrounding the Villa have been found finds of great historical value, the same building that was originally built around a large square, is one of the jewels of Via Appia

Parco degli Acquedotti - Parco Archeologico dell'Appia Antica
2 hours
The Park of aqueducts is situated on the beautiful Roman countryside, just outside the city of Rome and was designated a protected area in 1988. The park protects the remains of two enormous ancient aqueducts, yet is surprisingly little-visited by tourists to the city. The impressive aqueducts that still stand there today, provide one of the most famous landscapes in Rome.The Aqua Claudia, which is the most impressive aqueduct still standing within the park, was the eighth aqueduct built by the ancient Romans, constructed during the reigns of emperors Caligula and Claudius. Nearby are the ruins of an even older aqueduct, the Aqua Marcia, built during the 144 BC. Pope Sixtus V removed parts of its structure to build the first Papal aqueduct, the Aqua Felix, at the end of the 16th century. The Papal aqueduct, which is a lot lower than its ancient Roman counterpart, runs along the Aqua Claudia. It ultimately ends at the famous Moses fountain in Piazza San Bernardo.
