Guided Visits in Parco dell'Appia Antica
Autumn 2006
On Sunday 1st October the free guided visits organized by the Park in collaboration with the environmentalist and local association will start again. To take part, it is enough to be at the meeting point on time. There will be 3-4 guided visits every Sunday. A great opportunity to discover the whole Park and its historical, archaeological, and naturalistic beauties and, above all, to enjoy a unique and sometimes uncontaminated landscape.
