Via Sacra (Sacred Road) is a basalt-paved road that was the main street of ancient Rome. It connected Capitoline Hill to The Colosseum. It was the traditional route for processions that marked religious occasions and occasions of triumph.
In between Capitoline Hill and The Colosseum the widest street in Rome was lined with temples and shrines. The remarkable restoration allows you to envision what times were like BC.
In the 5th century BC, the road was supported by a substructure to protect it from the rain. Later it was paved and during the reign of Nero it was lined with colonnades.
