Head to the Ancient Appian Way
Next, reach the Ancient Appian Way, Rome’s gateway to the East, built in 312 B.C. to connect Rome with the South of Italy. Walk down the ancient paving blocks of the first highway ever built, surrounded by the greenery of the regional park, named Parco dell’Appia Antica.
