A named mausoleum on Via Appia Antica
Mausoleo di Cecilia Metella gives the map a precise Appian Way mausoleum at Via Appia Antica, 161, 00178 Roma RM. It belongs for travelers choosing a focused monumental stop along the ancient road, and its supplied visit guidance suggests 45–60 minutes. Its position also makes it a natural comparison with Villa di Massenzio, mapped at number 153 and explicitly suggested as a possible combination.
The two places should remain distinct in both identity and planning. Cecilia Metella is the named mausoleum, while Villa di Massenzio is the imperial villa and circus. The map’s exact addresses help prevent treating the Appian Way as a single attraction with one entrance or one visit format. This entry is therefore useful both for its monument type and for the way it clarifies choices along the corridor.
Access is shaped by the road itself. Limited vehicle access makes bus, walking or cycling preferable, and Appian Park ticket rules apply. Same-day opening should be verified before departure rather than inferred from the neighbouring villa’s status. The supplied heritage information was checked on August 25, 2026; hours, prices, routes and closures can change. Plan this as an Appian Way site, not as a central Rome stop.
