The Portico di San Luca is the longest arcade in the world. It's 2-1/2 miles up the Colle della Guardia to the Santuario della Madona di San Luca. This includes 666 arches--all numbered--and 15 chaples en route. Begun in 1674, construction was completed in 1739. The journey begins at the Porta Saragozza
