In spring and autumn the Park organizes a program of free guided
Sunday visits in collaboration with the associations that have been
working to safeguard and promote this territory for many years by now.
Each of these associations has its program of cultural and schools
activities regarding various areas of the Park: Caffarella, Aqueducts,
Appia Antica, Tormarancia and Farnesiana.
In the various associations' web sites you will find the information you need to take part in the activities:
