ROME, May 24 (Xinhua) -- Not all parks in Rome are flooded with tourists. The Park of the Aqueducts is a good example of an interesting site which is completely off the tourist track. In the park you will find the massive remains of a number of ancient aqueducts that were built during the Roman Empire. The park is about 240 hectares and it is located in the southeast side of the city. In ancient times, it was a real crossroads for the water supply heading to the urban area.
