Parco Regionale dell'Appia Antica is an archaeological protected area of approximately 3,400 hectares, established by the Italian region of Lazio. Its territory is largely within Rome, but its remainder also includes the neighboring cities of Ciampino and Marino.
The originator of the creation of the great archaeological park from the ruins of Via Appia was Pope Pius IX. The archaeological path was intended to run from the city center to southeastern Rome, but eventually only reached the Baths of Caracalla.
The park is a "green wedge" between the center of Rome and the Alban hills to the southeast. It contains most of the monuments of Ancient Rome that can be found outside the city center. The ancient souvenirs of the Regionale dell'Appia Antica park include: Appian Way (the oldest Roman road), Caffarella Park, Tor Fiscale Park, Acquedotti Park, Villa Quintilia, Caffarelli Park, Tor Marancia Park, Villa Sette Bassi and the Via Latina archaeological zone.
