Mausoleo di Cecilia Metella e Castrum Caetani - Parco Archeologico dell'Appia AnticaThe Tomb of Caecilia Metella (Italian: Mausoleo di Cecilia Metella) is a mausoleum located just outside Rome at the three mile marker of the Via Appia. It was built during the 1st century BC to honor Caecilia Metella, who was the daughter of Quintus Caecilius Metellus Creticus, a consul in 69 BC, and the wife of Marcus Licinius Crassus who served under Julius Caesar and was the son of the famous triumvir with the same name, Marcus Licinius Crassus. The mausoleum was probably built in 30–10 BCE by her son who also had the same name, Marcus Licinius Crassus.

Circus of MaxentiusThe Circus of Maxentius built by the emperor during the 4th century a.D. is one of the largest and best preserved circus for chariot races. It was build by the emperor Maxentius soon after the death of his son Romolo. It was dedicated to Romolo. The mausoleum built for his son Romulus is also annexed to the circus.

Catacombs of Saint CallixtusThe catacombs of St. Callixtus are among the greatest and most important of Rome. They originated about the middle of the second century and are part of a cemeterial complex which occupies an area of 90 acres, with a network of galleries about 12 miles long, in four levels, more than twenty meters deep. In it were buried tens of martyrs, 16 popes and many christians.The underground cemetery includes several areas. The area of the Popes is the most important and venerated crypt of the cemetery, called "the little Vatican" as it was the official burial place of nine popes and, probably, of eight dignitaries of Rome's 3rd century Church.
