Yeah, even in places like Rome, the streetscape very rarely dates to earlier than the late 19th century.
There are, of course, many individual buildings predating even Christ, but streetscapes tend to be new. Excepting a few smaller cities like Venice, it's rare to be walking down streets filled with 300 yo+ buildings. The high streets in Paris aren't much older than the high streets in the older North American cities.
