Parco degli Acquedotti

This is a long park that goes between the important roads of Appia (arrives in Puglia the heel of Italy) and Tuscolana (arrives in Castelli Romani). The park starts just outside the old wall of Rome and ends at the bottom of the hills of Castelli Romani. Still standing here are two important ancient aqueducts: Acquedotto di Acqua Marcia and Acquedotto di Claudio. The second still works today and brings water to Piazza della Republica near Termini Station.

After we went by Parco della Cervelletta, next to Daniele's parent's house. Like many Italian parks, this is the ancient country home of a noble family. In the case of this villa, some people actually live in a few of the property buildings. The main castle is state owned and there are events held there.
