Parco degli Acquedotti, Public park with Roman aqueducts in Appio Claudio, Italy.
The 240-hectare park contains sections of ancient Roman aqueducts, including the Aqua Claudia and Aqua Felix, extending through green meadows and walking paths.
The Aqua Claudia aqueduct, constructed between 38 and 52 AD, stands as evidence of Roman engineering capabilities in water transportation across the ancient city.
Federico Fellini selected this location for filming the opening scene of La Dolce Vita, establishing the park as a significant spot in Italian cinema.
The park maintains extensive walking trails connecting different sections, with entry points near Via Lemonia and the Giulio Agricola metro station.
A preserved section of the Via Latina, an ancient Roman road, runs through the park, revealing original stone paving from the Republican period.

The ancient structures transported water across valleys and plains using gravity. Built by Roman and Ottoman engineers, these aqueducts stand up to 50 meters tall, crossing valleys on multiple levels of stone arches. The structures supplied cities with fresh water from distant springs and rivers.
These sites in Rome display art, history, and architecture away from main routes. From ancient temples to small churches, the city reveals its historical depth. The locations include underground catacombs, Roman villas, Gothic churches, and industrial buildings with art collections.
