Santa Maria Nova Complex

Santa Maria Nova Complex is a fascinating archaeological complex located in the Appia Antica Archaeological Park. It includes the impressive Villa dei Quintili - once the largest ancient residence in the suburbs of Rome, owned by the senatorial Quintili family and later confiscated by Emperor Commodus.

The complex offers a remarkable journey through time, from ancient mosaics and sculptures to medieval architecture. The historic Santa Maria Nova outbuilding features an exhibition of archaeological finds and multimedia installations that tell the story of this unique site.
