Where it is

The complex of Sant'Agnese fuori le Mura / St Agnes outside the Walls sits along Via Nomentana, in the Trieste-Nomentano district, north-east of central Rome. It's a smart residential area, not far from Villa Torlonia and the quartiere Coppedè, and easy to reach by surface transport.

By bus

The most practical option is the bus: several lines run along Via Nomentana and stop close to the complex. From the centre and from Termini you reach the area by surface transport; it's worth checking the latest route based on where you start.

By metro (with a transfer)

There's no metro stop right outside the complex: the nearest stations are usually on Line B (Termini/Castro Pretorio area), from where you continue by bus along Via Nomentana. That's why, in this part of town, bus and taxi/NCC are often handier than the metro.

By car and private driver (NCC)

The area is residential and offers a fair amount of parking, but Via Nomentana can get busy at peak times. With a private driver (NCC) the visit is far smoother: they drop you right at the complex and handle the transfers and the waiting, ideal for pairing Sant'Agnese with Villa Torlonia, the quartiere Coppedè or other stops in northern Rome, with none of the dead time you get on public transport.

Suggested itinerary

Sant'Agnese fuori le Mura pairs well with:

  • Villa Torlonia, with its museums and bunkers.
  • The quartiere Coppedè, with its fairy-tale architecture.
  • Villa Ada and the Trieste-Salario area.
  • The Catacombe di Priscilla, on nearby Via Salaria.
