Furlo Pass, Roman tunnel in Acqualagna, Italy
The Furlo tunnel stretches 38 meters through solid rock, featuring a height of 6 meters and ancient chisel marks on its stone surfaces.
Emperor Vespasian ordered the expansion of this passage in 76 AD to improve transportation along the Via Flaminia through the narrow mountain gorge.
The tunnel represents Roman engineering capabilities, demonstrating how ancient builders created infrastructure solutions that remain functional after two millennia.
Modern highway tunnels constructed in the 1980s now carry vehicle traffic, leaving the ancient passage available for pedestrian exploration.
Near the tunnel entrance stands the Church of the Virgin of Furlo, constructed in the late 1400s against the dramatic mountain backdrop.
