Walk on Water



For class we had to design an hour long walk and select places that we wanted to see on the walk. For my walk I chose a theme of water because Rome is known for creating the aqueduct and for bringing fresh water to all parts of the City. So I chose to stop at the Aqueduct of Nero built in the first century AD, then to the Villa Celimontana to see the various fountains there and the pond, and then on to the Baths of Caracalla, ending in the Park of Porta Capena.

-Starting at the Aqueduct of Nero
-Walking down Via Statilia, make a left onto Via Emanuele Filiberto
-Make a Right onto Via Della Fontana, past San Giovanni in Laterno
-Via Della Fontana turns into Via Dell’Amba Aradam
-Walk through the Piazza del Porta Metronia and make a right onto Via del Navicella
-Make a left onto the Villa Celimontana
-Leaving the Villa make a right onto Via del Navicella
-Walk back through the Piazza del Porta Metronia
-Make a right onto Via Druso
-Make a right onto Via del Terme di Caracalla where you will pass the Baths of Caracalla
-Leaving the Baths of Caracalla, make a left back onto Via del Terme di Caracalla
