Embark on an unforgettable journey through ancient Rome's underground wonders, exploring crypts, catacombs, and burial chambers with an expert guide. The Original Crypts and Catacombs of Rome Tour begins in Piazza Barberini, where human corpses were once publicly displayed. The tour's highlight is the Capuchin Crypt, featuring Caravaggio's "St. Francis in Meditation" and the artistic arrangement of 4,000 Capuchin monks' bones.
Next, travel comfortably to the Christian Catacombs, a network associated with the first Christians in ancient Rome. Descend into volcanic rock corridors, discovering frescoes and burial places doubling as places of worship during persecution. Led by an expert guide, navigate extensive catacombs revealing tales of a bygone era.
Complete your underground experience with a historic visit to the Basilica San Martino ai Monti, a church rich with hidden layers of history. Built on the remains of ancient Roman buildings, it offers a rare look at the early days of Christian worship. Step beneath the basilica to explore age-old chambers once used by early Christian communities and uncover relics and remains that reflect the deep spiritual roots of the Eternal City.
No matter which venue becomes your favorite, the seamless combination of these three distinct elements offers an unforgettable exploration of Rome's hidden treasures.
This is a unique tour of Rome which will give you a different perspective on the fascinating culture of the Eternal City.
