| The Baths of Caracalla - built in A.D. 217 by Emperor Caracalla, are the present evidence of that past magnificence. The Baths of Caracalla held about 1.500 Romans and worked during 300 years, until the Barbarian invasion took place. St. Sebastian Gate - is the biggest and best preserved of the 18 gates that led to the inner City. (Walls were built by Emperor Aurelian in A.D. 270). Walking through Via di Porta S. Sebastiano (St. Sebastian Gate Street) and passing by the Gate of the same name, you'll arrive to the Old Appian Way. Old Appian Way - during the Roman Empire, the area around the Coliseum towards the Celio used to be an exclusive one. Don't miss: the Catacombs of St. Calisto and the Tomb of Caecilia Metella. |
