The restoration of the Ancient Roman Road in the capital of Türkiye is nearing completion
The restoration work of the Ancient Roman Road, hidden among modern buildings in the heart of Ankara, the capital of Türkiye, is nearing completion.
The Roman Road, located in the Ulus district of Ankara, is approximately 216 meters long and 6.7 meters wide. The road is paved with limestone, known for its durability. On both sides of the road, there are sidewalk blocks made for pedestrians, approximately 20 cm high and 1.5 meters wide.

Ankara Metropolitan Municipality (ABB) has announced that 90% of the restoration of the “Ancient Roman Road,” located within the Ulus Historical City Center, has been completed. According to a statement from ABB, the restoration work initiated under a protocol with the Ministry of Culture and Tourism will include the completion of walking paths and railings around the area, ensuring that visitors can safely explore the region.

As a result of the excavations, ancient shop walls have been uncovered, and other steps in the project include dry landscaping, the installation of lighting poles, and the cleaning and revealing of a water well.
The restoration work, which is 90% complete, is expected to be finished shortly, with the goal of opening the Ancient Roman Road to the public.
