Parco degli Scipioni, Municipal park in Celio district, Rome, Italy
The 1.6-hectare park stretches between Via Appia and Via Latina, featuring tree-lined paths, sculptures, and fountains along its central avenue.
The land transformed from ancient burial grounds, including the tomb of the Scipione family from 280 BC and the Columbarium of Pomponius Hylas from the 1st century.
The park preserves archaeological remains of Roman funerary structures, with the Scipione family tomb revealing burial practices of noble Roman families.
Located beyond the Aurelian wall at coordinates 41°52′35″N 12°30′05″E, the park entrance stands near the San Giovanni in Oleo oratory.
The site was discovered twice, with the second finding in 1780 when the Sassi brothers uncovered the tomb entrance while expanding their cellar.
