Via Nazionale is a street in Rome from Piazza della Repubblica leading towards Piazza Venezia.
Already begun as via Pia, named in honour of Pius IX who had wanted to connect Stazione Termini to the city centre, the street
was completed at the end of the 19th century through the ambition of several figures of the Risorgimento to create a "new Rome"
as a capital of the unified Kingdom of Italy.
The basilica is dedicated to the Christian martyrs, known and unknown. It was also a personal monument of Pope Pius IV.
The thermae of Diocletian dominated the Quirinal Hill with their ruined mass and had successfully resisted Christianization.

Today the Diocletian Baths' Museum and the Cloister of Michelangelo are hosted in what remains of the baths.
