Conveniantally located just 43 miles from Rome by way of the Via Appia, the Forum Appi is perfect for a day trip or a no hassle romantic getaway. One could also just stop here for the night before continuing on their way the next morning.
The Forum Appii has something for everyone, even the historical buffs. When Paul the Apostle traveled to Rome he stopped and stayed here. Upon hearing of his approach a few Romans traveled down the Via Appia and waited for him in the Forum Appii. This story is told in Acts 28:15 of the Bible.
The Forum Appii is believed to have been founded by Appius Caecus, the same man who was responcible for the construction on the Via Appia itself. The Forum Appii was one of three waystations along the Via Appia, the other two being Forum Clodii and Prima Porta.
So what are you waiting for? Contact you Travel Agent now! * Travelers should take into account that the Forum Appii no longer exists as it was in its original state. Well after it fell into ruins it was replaced with a post station by Pope Pius VI. Hope to see you soon!
Come Visit the beautiful Forum Appii!
