It is spelled "VIA DOLOROSA" and literally means "painful way/road", or "road of pain", so called because it is said to be the road Jesus took while carrying the cross to Golgotha.
It had a different name in Roman times, of course.

From the Mel Gibson Film "The Passion of The Christ".
A brutalized, wounded Jesus was soon to fall again under the weight of the cross.
His mother had made her way along the Via Della Rosa. As she ran to him, she flashed back to a memory of Jesus as a child, falling in the dirt road outside of their home. Just as she reached to protect him from the fall, she was now reaching to touch his wounded adult face. Jesus looked at her with intensely probing and passionately loving eyes (and at all of us through the screen) and said "Behold I make all things new." These are words taken from the last Book of the New Testament, the Book of Revelations.
