The first suburban miles of Via Appia Antica in southeastern Rome are a Grade I archeological site and a popular recreational area. The road and its surroundings are protected as a regional park from the further approach of suburban development. As an arterial road, the Appia was in antiquity lined with tombs, estates and spas. In addition to numerous aboveground monuments on the edge of the road are some excavations and the entrances to several early Christian catacombs. (Source: Wikipedia)
