Activity itinerary

Chiesa del Domine Quo Vadis
  • 10m
The fist stop will be at the Domine Quo Vadis Church - where the encounter between Jesus and Saint Peter took place and the miraculous footprints are still preserved. According to the apocryphal Acts of Peter, Saint Peter met here the risen Christ while Petrus was fleeing persecution in Rome. According to the tradition, Peter asked him, "Lord, where are you going?" (Latin: Domine, quo vadis?). Christ answered, "I am going to Rome to be crucified again"
Catacombs of Saint Callixtus
  • 1h
  • Admission ticket included
Entrance ticket and guided tour of the Catacombs of S. Callisto or S. Sebastiano (according to availability) is included. 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 metres deep. In it were buried tens of martyrs, 16 popes and very many Christians.
Circus of Maxentius
  • 20m
Once on the Appian Way again we will stop and enter the Circus Of Maxentius – the second biggest Roman circus that was probably never used, set of the film Ben Hur. The Circus itself is the best preserved in the area of Rome, and is second only in size to the Circus Maximus in Rome. The only games recorded at the circus were its inaugural ones and these are generally thought to have been funerary in character. They would have been held in honour of Maxentius' son Valerius Romulus, who died in AD 309 at a very young age and who was probably interred in the adjacent cylindrical tomb (tomb of Romulus).
Mausoleo di Cecilia Metella
  • 15m
  • Admission ticket not included
On the top of the hill we will have a stop and explanation of the biggest tomb of the via Appia, the Tomb of Cecilia Metalla and the Caetani castle (entrance not included, you don't need to buy any ticket); on the opposite side of the road the guide will take you close to one of a kind example of Cistercian gothic style: S. Nicola Church.
Complesso di Capo di Bove - Parco Archeologico dell'Appia Antica
  • 15m
The private villa of the multi-millionaire philosopher, preceptor of the emperor Marcus Aurelius
Villa dei Quintili e Santa Maria Nova
  • 10m
  • Admission ticket not included
One of the biggest residential areas of the suburb of Rome, originally owned by the brothers killed at the hand of Emperor Commodus, who sadly went down in history as one the worst emperors throughout time. Entrance not included, you don't need to buy any ticket.
Via Appia Antica
  • 20m
If you take a look at the map, you’ll notice incredible burial places lining the Regina Viarum. Catacombs, churches, sepulchers and mausoleums, but why all this burial places here? Well, this is one of the many answers you’ll get during our guided tour on golf cart on the Appian Way.
Parco Archeologico dell'Appia Antica
  • 30m
We will drive back to the starting point along the Ancient Appian Way
