Parco Regionale dell'Appia Antica

The most widespread "monumental" presence, both outside and inside the city walls, was represented by the aqueducts, eleven long aqueducts built in over five centuries. In their subterranean pipes or on the arch-shaped areas, the several branches of a river used to flow. The book talks about over 1,200 big fountains and smaller or courtyard fountains, 11 huge spa facilities, and 856 various bathing establishments.
