Other Monuments nearby the Non-Catholic Cemetery
The Non-Catholic Cemetery
is situated in Testaccio,
a historic quarter of
Rome that is full of
other monuments of interest.
Four only of them are
briefly described here:
the Pyramid of Caius
Cestius which dominates
the Parte Antica of the
Cemetery; a long stretch
of the Aurelian Walls
which were built to enclose
Rome in the 3rd century
AD; the Porta San Paolo
as a gate in that wall;
and finally the Monte
Testaccio, a remarkable
artificial hill resulting
from the disposal of
Roman amphorae.
