Roman road in Cilicia, Roman road and archaeological site in Mersin Province, Turkey.

The stone-paved Roman road stretches northward from Sağlıklı village for 3 kilometers, featuring stone parapets on both sides at 300-400 meters altitude.

Constructed in the first century AD, this road underwent repairs during Emperor Caracalla's reign in the third century, connecting Cappadocia to Cilicia provinces.

The road contains numerous tombs from Roman and Byzantine periods, along with inscriptions that document repair works and regional administration practices.

Access to the archaeological site requires traveling through Mersin Province to Tarsus district, where the road section extends from Sağlıklı village.

A monumental gate structure with dimensions of 8.8 meters in width and 5.2 meters in height marks the southern boundary of the preserved road section.
