Appian Way and Aurelian Walls (Via Appia Antica e Mure Aureliane)

The Appian Way, or Via Appia Antica, was the first and most important Imperial Roman road, constructed in the 4th century BC to transport supplies and soldiers across the empire. Stretching from Rome to Brindisi, this cobblestone thoroughfare still exists today, flanked by archaeological sites and impressive ruins. Beyond the defensive Aurelian Walls, visitors can explore the ancient aqueducts and catacomb-filled countryside, walking in the footsteps of the Romans who once traversed this historic route.
