The Appia Antica Park, traversed by Rome's celebrated "Queen of Roads", has now received the official go-ahead to incorporate an additional 1,200 hectares of territory within its boundaries.
The Park, first founded as a small protected area in 1988, will now stretch from the walls of Rome and the Baths of Caracalla to the town of Marino in the Castelli Romani hills. The Park now incorporates the 16 kms of the ancient consular route, the Caffarella Valley, the Catacombs of San Callisto, the Tormarancia farmland and the 240 hectares of the Park of the Aqueducts to the venerated Sanctuary of Divine Love.
This will all now be a vast green area, open to the public to enjoy on foot or by bicycle.
