Appian Way (Via Appia Antica) (pass by)

We'll leave Rome's city center by passing by the Coliseum and the Therms of Caracalla - the main ancient Roman baths. Leaving the city you will see the ancient Aurigal Walls and gate of St. Sebastian, used as check-point during Roman Empire's era. Appian road was built by order of censor Appius Claudius Caecus in 312 B.C. and it had important military, cultural and commercial significance, that's why in antiquity it was called «the queen of all roads ». The oldest stretch of the road is paved with tightly wrapped stones, which lay on a layer of pebbles and cement. Soon the Romans began to build along the road monumental tombs, aqueducts and magnificent monuments, the decoration of which became a matter of prestige.

Chiesa del Domine Quo Vadis

During our first stop we'll visit the Quo Vadis Church, built on the spot where a landmark meeting for Christianity took place. Legend says while Apostle Peter was escaping from Rome from persecutions, Jesus Christ appeared to him on the Appian road. «Where do you go, Lord?» asked the apostle. The answer was: «I'm going to Rome to be crucified again.» Ashamed of his escape, St Peter then decided to come back to the city. In the very center of the church called «Domine Quo Vadis» we will see Jesus' footprints.

Catacombs of Saint Callixtus

Our next destination are the huge catacombs of St. Callisto. This complex was formed during the 2nd-4th centuries on the basis of several previously existing burial zones, which gradually expanded and merged into a single complex by the end of the 4th century. Going underground we can admire many frescoes and inscriptions related to life and death of the Christian community's members of that era.
