Route 12 - Appia Antica




A run along some of the most imposing monuments of the Roman Empire: from the ever-impressive Colosseum to the amazingly huge Circus Maximus and from the still mysterious Palatine Hill to the red-brick ruins of the Baths of Caracalla. You’ll finally reach the “queen of roads”, as the Latin poet Statius called the Appian Way. Lined with splendid burial monuments and patrician residences, which stand amid the evocative beauty of the land that it crosses.
