It's along the Appian Way, southeast of Rome. Note the Tomb of Romulus, the son of Maxentius who died a boy, immediately adjacent the circus. If you zoom out, you can see how the Circus of Maxentius is not all that much smaller than the Circus Maximus (which is indeed maximus!).

[Found the Villa von Ow; one of the neighbors have a built-in swimming pool. Neuschwanstein was not to be found since the detailed satellite photos do not extend to that region.]

Rome is very detailed--the Campidoglio, the Coliseum, the Pantheon, the Vatican, etc., etc.--all fun to see from the air. Now on to Santa Costanza and the ruins of the original Basilica of St. Agnes.
