Rome is going to have a new archaeological walk

The project aims to reconnect the archaeological sites of the city center with the surrounding neighborhoods.

Architecture studios Labics, Buromilan, Openfabric, Orizzontale, Ia2, and go mobility are going to realize the “New Archaeological Walk” of Rome, which will connect various archaeological sites in the city center – including the Imperial Fora, Colosseum, Celio, Palatine Hill, Baths of Caracalla, Circus Maximus, and Capitoline Hill – reconnecting them more functionally to modern city life and the daily life of the surrounding neighborhoods.

The administration intends to create a new large pedestrian ring that revisits the late 19th-century idea of the "Passeggiata" (walk), at an estimated cost of €18.8 million. The itinerary will specifically connect the Imperial Fora with other routes around the Palatine Hill, intercepting the cycle-pedestrian path along Via di S. Gregorio, Via dei Cerchi, Via di S. Teodoro, and the uphill and downhill paths of the Capitoline Hill. If all timelines are met, construction could begin by September.
