It is located about some 800 m from [[Porta San Sebastiano]], where the [[Via Ardeatina]] branches off the [[Appian Way]], on the site where, according to the [[New Testament apocrypha|apocryphal]] ''[[Acts of Peter]]'', [[Saint Peter]] met the risen [[Jesus Christ|Christ]] while Peter was fleeing persecution in Rome. According to the tradition, Peter asked him, "Lord, where are you going?" ({{langx|la|Domine, quo vadis?}}). Christ answered, "I am going to Rome to be crucified again" ({{langx|la|Eo Romam iterum crucifigi}}).
