The Labyrinth of Rome is a peaceful space built on the site of a 1930s erosion control pond, originally constructed by the Works Progress Administration. In the 1960s and ’70s, it served as an informal amphitheater for folk music and poetry readings.

Years later, local leader Ed Baker, inspired by the lack of nearby labyrinths, worked with the city to transform this spot on historic Jackson Hill. The design features 5,490 bricks—stretching over a kilometer if laid end to end—and weighing more than 24,000 pounds.

Unlike a maze, a labyrinth has a single, winding path. It’s not meant to confuse, but to center the mind. Walking it is a meditative journey—a symbolic search for clarity, peace, and connection. This particular labyrinth, set on multiple levels, reflects the ups and downs of life. Trust the path, take your time, and enjoy the journey. View Video
