Casal Rotondo, Ancient Roman mausoleum on Via Appia Antica, Rome, Italy.

The circular mausoleum measures 35 meters in diameter and stands as the largest tomb structure along the ancient Appian Way road.

Built in the late first century BC, the mausoleum features marble fragments with inscriptions of the name Cotta found during 19th-century excavations.

The structure exemplifies Roman burial practices, combining a monumental tomb design with functional elements such as seats for travelers along Via Appia.

Visitors can reach the monument using bus lines 118, 520, 654, 664, 789, C11, or N26, stopping at Capannelle/Appia Nuova station.

A medieval farmhouse sits atop the ancient mausoleum, incorporating a watchtower that belonged to the Savelli family's defensive network.
