Strolling along via Roma, the city’s main street full of beautiful shops and historic palazzos, it is hard to imagine that below the street level there is an extraordinary world waiting to be discovered , consisting of the sturdy arches of the Roman viaduct. This work, built in the third century B.C., was created to bring the street up to a level high enough to avoid flooding and Via Salaria becoming a swamp. This was the ancient salt route entering town and leading to the forum in todays piazza Vittorio Emanuele II. The structure consists of grandiose roman vaults, incorporated into a few noble residences, reminiscent of the city of Rieti’s past. Guided tours are often organized in loco upon request, even for small groups.

A great history lesson...You get to see remains left by the Romans which are now covered by Rieti's current city. Rieti was a stop on the old Via Salaria going from Rome to the Adriatic (my apartment in Ascoli Piceno is bordered by the same "Salt Highway"!!!). It is a rather short tour, but worth the time and the reasonable price. Rieti has a lot to offer if you look for it! And that Roman Bridge!!! Wow...and this tour shows you the continuation of the road that once crossed the river via that bridge. Fantastic history!
