The Nymphaeum of the Villa dei Quintili, located along the Via Appia Antica, is an ancient Roman complex dating back to the 2nd century AD. Part of the luxurious villa of the noble Quintili family, the nymphaeum was an artificial cave decorated with frescoes, mosaics and statues, created to offer an atmosphere of relaxation and entertainment. Equipped with a sophisticated water system, it included fountains and water games. Today it is part of the Archaeological Park of the Via Appia Antica.

The Via Appia Antica is the remains of a once very important trade and military route that began in the center of Rome (like many other ancient highways) and ran to Brindisi. The VA antica is the rest of it. For several kilometers it runs almost dead straight, in several places the old, 2,000-year-old paving is still there, but most of it has now been replaced by newer paving stones of a different format. Nevertheless, it is still a very interesting street and even cars still use it. However, it is mostly used by pedestrians and cyclists, who also like to use the trails to the left and right of the street. It's just too tiring to walk on the street all the time.

The tower is - as seen from Rome - on the left side of the Via Appia Antica; it dates back to the 12th century. and was built to control the surrounding area. A large mound from the 1st century BC. BC served as the basis for the construction of the tower with the typical construction technique of black and white bands made of flint, peperino, marble and travertine flakes, which made the building visible even from long distances. So it's not a tomb like so many other buildings along the Via Appia Antica

The Appian Way is a spectacular open-air museum, crossing it by bike is the best

The Via Appia Antica is one of the most famous consular roads in the world. It connects Rome with Brindisi, which was once the gateway to Greece and the East. Great historical facts and age-old legends have taken place along this road. Like the one that sees St. Peter as the protagonist before the foundation of the Basilica of the same name. The paving stone stands imperturbable over time and it is still possible to see the ruts left by the carts that traveled along this road. An impressive feat of engineering considering the times. Walking in the shade of the magnificent and very tall umbrella pines of Rome, one forgets about time and space. A dive into the past in the largest urban park in Europe.
