early commemorations to later expansions. Notable features include the
13th-century cloister and shimmering mosaics.
Aurelian
Walls (panoramic)
See sections of Rome’s impressive late-imperial defensive walls (3rd century
CE), among the best-preserved ancient fortifications in Europe.
Appian
Way and the Catacombs (optional visit)
Drive along the Appian Way regional park area. Option to visit the catacombs of
St. Callixtus or San Sebastiano (tickets not included).
Continue to the Circus of Maxentius, Tomb of Cecilia Metella, and
stretches of original cobblestones—plus time for a short walk in the green
spaces.
