About this activity

Cycle through Rome's most historically rich landscape on the Ancient Appian Way, visiting the atmospheric Catacombs of St. Callixtus and pausing for a leisurely lunch. This e-bike tour combines ancient Roman engineering, early Christian heritage, and countryside scenery within one of Europe's largest urban protected areas.

The Catacombs of St. Callixtus

St. Callixtus’s Catacombs are part of the so-called Callistian complex, an area of about 30 hectares between the Via Appia Antica, the Via Ardeatina and the Via delle Sette Chiese, in Rome, which houses various funerary areas and catacombs

The catacombs arose towards the end of the 2nd century, with some private Christian hypogea and a funerary area directly dependent on the Roman church. They take their name from the deacon Callisto I, appointed by Pope Zephyrinus to administer the cemetery itself. Having in turn ascended the papal throne, Pope Callistus I enlarged the funerary complex, which soon became the official one of the Church.
