The Mausoleum of Cecilia Metella is a grandiose Roman funerary monument dedicated to a wealthy Roman matron, a member of one of the most important noble families of the time. The complex was built between 30 and 10 BC. and reused in medieval times as a tower of a perfectly preserved castle. The residential part of the fortification houses the "Appia Museum", a collection of statues, sarcophagi, inscriptions and reliefs from the Via Appia Antica and relating to the rich funerary monuments that overlooked it.

Built around the second half of the 1st century BC. to accommodate the mortal remains of a wealthy Roman matron. The very little information we have about the life and death of this woman can all be found on the marble plaque affixed to the front of the monument.
