- Parco degli Acquedotti - Parco Archeologico dell’Appia Antica - 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.

The enduring Roman aqueducts, more than two millennia old, continue to display the exceptional engineering prowess of the Romans of antiquity. Not just their construction, but their function and consistent reliability even today make them an astonishing achievement. Interestingly, several aqueducts are still in functioning condition. As you walk through contemporary Rome, you’ll encounter these awe-inspiring arched frameworks often spanning streets and boulevards. On the outskirts of the city, nestled between Via Appia Antica and Via Appia Nuova, stands the Villa dei Quintili. This stunning Roman villa provides visitors with ample opportunity for an outdoor stroll among its ruins. Within the vicinity of the Villa, numerous historic treasures have been discovered. The Villa itself, originally structured around a spacious quad, is a prime highlight of Via Appia.
