The area falls within the Appia Antica park, which stretches for over 16 km through archaeological and naturalistic areas of high value along the Via Appia Antica, defined as the ‘Regina Viarum’ and recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It is located near the historical monument ‘Casal Rotondo’ and the Torricola station, which is only 9 minutes by train from Rome’s Termini station. The area consists of two areas that are currently disused and were previously used as quarries for basalt extraction, and hosts an ancient farmhouse of approximately 200 sq.m. It is characterised by the typical geomorphological features of the Roman countryside and is predominantly used as a green area. The Memorandum of Understanding, signed in September 2022 between the FS Group, Roma Capitale, the Appia Antica Archaeological Park and the Regional Park Authority, aims to enhance the area from an environmental, historical, archaeological and cultural point of view, through the recovery and redevelopment of the area of the former quarries and their testimonial value, envisaging the introduction of activities compatible with the regulations and protections of the Park Plan (green areas and services related to tourism and sport, with recreational and educational activities and educational farms), with the aim of increasing usability and tourist accessibility.

 

The area is in the centre of the Appia Antica Archaeological Park, near the historical monument of Casal Rotondo and the Mausoleum of Pompey the Great. It is very easily accessible from the near railway station of Torricola, on the line Roma – Formia (FL7/FL8), which links the area with the centre of the Capital in only 9 minutes. Furthermore, the area is near the main roads (the Ring, via Appia Nuova) and Ciampino airport, which is at only 3,5 km.

Other places of interest nearby are Cinecittà and the Hippodrome Capannelle, near which there is the homologous railway station.
