In fact, there is one particular hike in Rome that takes you through the historic Jackson Hill area and brings hikers to a spot that is cherished by all.

Just blocks from Downtown Rome, this Jackson Hill is known as being an area for visitors to explore, between the winding trails, outdoors exhibits, and of course, the famed attraction known as the Labyrinth of Rome.

The Labyrinth of Rome was created in the area that was once an amphitheater built by the Works Progress Administration in the 1930s.

Different from a maze, a labyrinth has one path only—and the plan is to walk the path toward the center in order to relieve stresses and enjoy the feeling of peace and meditation.
