Tombs of Via Latina, Ancient Roman tombs along Via Latina in Rome, Italy.

The archaeological park extends 450 meters, featuring preserved Roman tombs and sections of the original basalt road surface from the second century.

Lorenzo Fortunati discovered these burial structures in 1857, leading to excavations supported by Pope Pius IX and state acquisition in 1879.

The Valerii tomb contains 35 white stucco medallions depicting Dionysian figures, while underground chambers display mythological frescoes and mosaics.

Visitors can walk on the original road pavement and explore three main tombs: Barberini, Valerii, and Pancrazi, with guided tours required for interior access.

The Barberini sepulcher maintains its red and yellow laterite stone construction with two floors above ground and an underground burial chamber.
