A MCDONALD’S in a popular holiday hotspot has gained attention online for its creepy detail.
Diners at the Maccies in Frattocchie, Italy are greeted by human remains from 2,000 years ago.
A baffled customer posted a video of the bizarre restaurant on TikTok while on her vacation.
In the video, the young woman shows a glass floor of the Maccies through which the visitors can peek at an ancient cobble road.
But as she walks further inside the establishment, an unsettling feature can be spotted beneath the transparent panel on the ground.
The cameraperson then zooms in on a skeleton lying right underneath the dining tables of the fast food chain.
The unusual McDonald’s branch, just south of Rome, was built directly above an incredibly well-preserved stretch of Roman road.
The 2,000-year-old road was discovered in 2014 during the construction of the fast food restaurant.
The site was dug out with assistance from archaeologists, and McDonald’s forked out a whopping £250,000 for the excavation.
The fast food chain opened the doors for customers in 2017 and doubles as a museum, allowing people to enjoy a piece of history with their nuggets.
Hungry travellers can gobble down their burgers alongside the three skeletons – supposedly buried there in the third century.
Pamela Cerino, an archaeologist who worked on the dig, told The Telegraph: “The skeletons belong to three men, the oldest of whom was aged 35-40.”
The paved road is thought to be connected to the Appian Way, which was one of the busiest routes in ancient Rome and led from Rome to the coastal city of Brindisi.
Regina viarium, also known as “queen of roads,” is the name given to the route in honour of the Roman official Appius Claudius Caecus.
Alfonsina Russo, superintendent of archaeology for Rome, told The Telegraph: “We think it was a side road that connected the Appian Way to a settlement or maybe an important property such as the villa of a rich noble or an imperial estate.
“Sadly only this section survived – the rest was destroyed. But it’s of great historical importance.
“The Appian Way was travelled by famous figures such as (the Roman poet) Horace, who recounted his journey from Rome to Brindisi in his Satires.”
The road that runs beneath McDonald’s stretches seven feet wide and roughly 150 feet long.
It is believed to had been built in the second century BC and abandoned by the third century.
Another skeleton was discovered under a neighbouring gas station, with a penny in its mouth, which is thought to have been an offering to the Greek mythological figure Charon.
Visitors to the restaurant have the option of exploring the old road or peering through a transparent panel in the floor to see it from above.
Mario Federico, head of McDonald’s Italia, said: “This is our first museum-restaurant.
“We’ve been able to return a stretch of Roman road to the local community and to the whole of Italy.
“The project is a good example of how the public and private sectors can collaborate effectively on reclaiming cultural heritage.”
But it’s not the only unique McDonald’s in Italy with the other one located in Rome with hand-carved statues at the entrance.
With over 40,000 restaurants around the globe, McDonald’s undoubtedly has some bizarre locations and interesting buildings in different countries.
One such restaurant serves food straight out of an abandoned airplane in New Zealand.
Another extraordinary location was dubbed “most breathtaking” McDonald’s in the world for serving food right on the beach with beautiful views of the sea.
But the biggest restaurant to date is located in Orlando, Florida and even has a huge arcade, play area and an exclusive menu offering pizza.
