Via
Micaelica
The Via Micaelica is so named because it connects Rome with Monte S.
Angelo, and ancient underground sanctuary of San Michele.
It is also called Via dell'Angelo or Francigena South because it is
the ideal continuation of the road linking northern Europe with Rome.
This route follows the route of the Roman Via Latina (known more
commonly Casilina) or the Appian Way to Capua and along the Via Appia
Traiana. Between 1151 and 1154 Nikulas of Munkathvera, abbot of the
monastery of Icelandic Thingor, went on a pilgrimage to Rome and
Jerusalem and wrote a detailed diary in which he described routes,
alternate route, the places visited. After Rome, the abbot chose
the Via Latina as the Via Appia. This route was not only used by
pilgrims coming to Rome from southern Italy and the Mediterranean
countries, but especially for the pilgrimage to Jerusalem.
