Urceopolis (City): Difference between revisions

===Crescent===

====Via Corona====

The ''Via Corona'' is a major thoroughfare which runs through the exterior of the Crescent and was the former site of the city's medieval walls, which replaced the ancient walls in the early 14th century. The Via Corona itself was constructed in the 1860s as the walls were demolished and was intended to provide cross-city linkage while creating open streets which would be difficult for insurgent revolutionaries to {{barricade}}. The road, named ''Crown Street'' in Latin due to its somewhat circular shape, presently includes an inner "express" roadway and side roadways for local traffic with bike lanes and sidewalks in between. As with the Crescent, the Via Corona essentially surrounds the ancient portion of Urceopolis to the north. The Via Corona today serves as the major inner-city roadway, intersecting with several routes of the National Interprovincial Highway Service which run near and around the city.

Besides being a major roadway, the Via Corona is thought by many to be its own insular neighborhood area. Many major structures were built in the 19th century as the road was constructed, and the area is today a popular tourist destination.
