A red tomb |
Via Appia Antica Rome, Rome 00178 +39 6 48 8991 (Tourist Information) |
On the outskirts of Rome on the Appia Antica, in a deserted place where there are only anonymous tombs and burials and the remains of some badly preserved Roman monuments, you will come across all that remains of an ancient tower built completely of tufa: the so-called red tower. This monument is also known as the Torre in Selce, because of the flint quarries in the vicinity. It probably dates back to a period between the 12th and 13th centuries and is enclosed by a small fortress. Review © 2009, Wcities |
