Mausoleo di Cecilia Metella e Castrum Caetani - Parco Archeologico dell'Appia Antica

The Tomb of Caecilia Metella (Italian: Mausoleo di Cecilia Metella) is a mausoleum located just outside Rome at the three mile marker of the Via Appia. It was built during the 1st century BC to honor Caecilia Metella, who was the daughter of Quintus Caecilius Metellus Creticus, a consul in 69 BC, and the wife of Marcus Licinius Crassus who served under Julius Caesar and was the son of the famous triumvir with the same name, Marcus Licinius Crassus. The mausoleum was probably built in 30–10 BCE by her son who also had the same name, Marcus Licinius Crassus.

Admission Not Included

Circus of Maxentius

The Circus of Maxentius built by the emperor during the 4th century a.D. is one of the largest and best preserved circus for chariot races. It was build by the emperor Maxentius soon after the death of his son Romolo. It was dedicated to Romolo. The mausoleum built for his son Romulus is also annexed to the circus.

Catacombs of Saint Callixtus

The catacombs of St. Callixtus are among the greatest and most important of Rome. They originated about the middle of the second century and are part of a cemeterial complex which occupies an area of 90 acres, with a network of galleries about 12 miles long, in four levels, more than twenty meters deep. In it were buried tens of martyrs, 16 popes and many christians.The underground cemetery includes several areas. The area of the Popes is the most important and venerated crypt of the cemetery, called "the little Vatican" as it was the official burial place of nine popes and, probably, of eight dignitaries of Rome's 3rd century Church.

Meravigliosa esperienza artistica ed escursionistica, luoghi unici che, vissuti nel modo giusto, con tempo e attenzione a disposizione, diventano un esperienza veramente indimenticabile. Lo stage di pittura ad acquarello permette ad ogniuno di esprimere la sua propria sensibilità artistica.

Abbiamo fatto una visitaguidatalcon ladottoressa Claudia Pinci sull 'Appia antica molto interessante per le competenze in materia archeologica.

Le visite con Claudia, sono delle vere e proprie immersioni nel passato. I suoi racconti e le descrizioni sono sempre molto dettagliate e documentat,e ma nello stesso tempo risultano chiare e comprensibili anche per chi si avvicina alla storia passata per la prima volta. Durante le visite si spazia da racconti mitologici e leggende, fino a riti ed eventi storici : battaglie,intrighi amorosi, usi e costumi della cultura e spiritualità antica. Ho partecipato a diverse visite sia in spazi esterni che nei musei piu' significativi della Capitale. Fino ad ora non ho avuto occasione di partecipare alle sessioni di acquerello, ma prima o poi provero' anche questa esperienza.

abbiamo trascorso una bellissima mattinata con Claudia percorrendo a piedi un lungo tratto dell'Appia antica che conserva sempre il suo fascino millenario. Claudia è stata una guida molto esaustiva, da archeologa qual'è è riuscita a catturare l'attenzione anche dei più giovani, unendo alla sua simpatia e preparazione anche divertenti aneddoti e curiosità sulla Roma antica. Interessantissima la parte della visita all'interno delle Catacombe di San Callisto. Per mancanza di tempo abbiamo preferito saltare la sessione di acquarello anche perché stava venendo a piovere.. il tour si può effettuare quindi anche senza la parte artistica ma resta sempre molto interessante e consigliatissimo! sicuramente ci rivolgeremo nuovamente a Claudia per effettuare qualcun altro dei suoi tours a piedi a Roma e dintorni.
