Vía de la Plata, Roman road between the Spanish provinces of León, Zamora, Salamanca, Cáceres and Badajoz, Spain.
The Via de la Plata extends for 800 kilometers from Mérida to Astorga through the western section of the Iberian Peninsula.
Roman engineers constructed this communication route during the first century to facilitate troop movements and establish connections between strategic settlements.
The road network later transformed into a pilgrimage path, connecting numerous religious sites along the route toward Santiago de Compostela.
Travelers can explore the route on foot or bicycle, with multiple accommodations and rest areas positioned at regular intervals along the path.
Roman milestones from the second and third centuries remain visible along the path, marking distances between ancient stations.
