Rome’s Appian Way added to UNESCO World Heritage list


The Appian Way, the ancient Romans’ first highway and a tourist attraction in modern Rome has been added to the United Nations’ cultural heritage list.

Known as the Regina Viarum or Queen of Roads, it connected the capital of the early Roman state to the southeastern town of Brindisi.

It is the 60th Italian site to be recognised by the UN culture agency, UNESCO, which announced its decision on the social platform X on Saturday.

The road is named after Appius Claudius Caecus, the Roman censor who began and completed the first section as a military road to the south in 312 BC.
