The 1.5-kilometre Via Lata is Rome's main street, which carves its way through the city's historic centre. In contrast with its neighbouring winding alleys and tiny piazzas, Via Lata is absolutely straight and wider than the remaining streets in central Rome, with its northern portion having been pedestrianised. Some of the highlights here include the Piazza del Popolo, Santa Maria dei Miracoli, Santa Maria in Montesanto and Piazza Venezia. Via Lata is set close to the Ara Pacis, the Pantheon, Fontana di Trevi, Il Vittoriano and the Forum.
