   The largest and among the best preserved gates in the defensive walls built by Aurelian in Rome.

   Chiesa del Domine Quo Vadis

   2min

   During Nero's persecution of Christians, Saint Peter is fleeing Rome to avoid martyrdom, he meets Jesus where now the church is and asks him "Lord, where are you going?" and he replied "I go to Rome, to be crucified again". The apostle then understands that Jesus, with this sign, asks him to return to Rome and accept martyrdom, and he obeys.

6. 6

   Catacombe di San Callisto

   Pass by

   One of the biggest Catacombs in town. 50 Martyrs and 16 Popes buried here. We'll ride inside the Vatican City state as this area is among the extraterritorial belongins of the Vatican in Rome!

   Catacombe San Sebastiano

   The place where the relics of the apostles Peter an Paul were moved during the invasion of the barbarians to prevent them from being vandalized

   Appian Way (Via Appia Antica)

   2h

   An incredible masterpiece of engineering, connecting Rome with the south-eastern part of the empire and built in 312 BC by Appius Claudius Caecus, a politician. With a length of 360 roman miles, most of them still with the original basalt blocks paving, the Appian way is the longest ancient roman road still preserved and location of important historical events like the crucifixion of Spartacus' 6000 soldiers along the road, the capture of Rome by the Allies during WWII and in 1960 summer Olympics, part of the men's marathon course.
