Caput Mundi: Conservative restoration and enhancement of the Aurelian Walls section Piazza S.Giovanni - Piazza di Santa Croce in Gerusalemme

Implementing party

Roma Capitale

Project description

The restoration of the Aurelian Walls, in the section stretching from the Basilica of San Giovanni in Laterano to Piazza di Santa Croce in Gerusalemme, represents a significant step forward in the enhancement of Rome’s historical and cultural heritage.

The intervention not only aims to preserve the historical integrity of the walls, but will also improve accessibility and the visitor experience along the walking paths toward Porta Asinaria, which is made in gravel. The accessible outdoor areas will be expanded, with the creation of a garden area. Furthermore, the walkway along Via Carlo Felice, which has so far been closed to the public, will be safely opened. 

The new paving will be made of cocciopesto (building material used in ancient Rome), laid over an aluminum fiber sheet and prepared for a floating installation. This non-invasive dry system allows for the organization of utility lines beneath the floor, ensuring easy maintenance while concealing connections. 

Additional works are planned to improve access to the towers and internal areas of Porta Asinaria, including lighting installations—both standard and emergency—and handrails. The goal is to offer a richer visitor experience while respecting the site's historical integrity and ensuring the safety and sustainability of the new structures.
