What you will be doing
Part of the Callistian complex, an area of about 30 hectares between the Via Appia Antica, the Via Ardeatina and the Via delle Sette Chiese, in Rome, which houses various funerary areas and catacombs. The catacombs arose towards the end of the 2nd century, with some private Christian hypogea and a funerary area directly dependent on the Roman church. They take their name from the deacon Callisto I, appointed by Pope Zephyrinus to administer the cemetery himself. Having ascended the papal throne, Pope Callistus I enlarged the funerary complex, which soon became the official one of the Church.
The Park of Aqueduct is a tale of the history of water in Rome and related engineering works. Six ancient Roman aqueducts converge here.
You'll enjoy a much-deserved break in the Holy Wood surrounded by Appia whilst learning about the romantic love story of Egeria and Numa Pompilio
