|
|
Discover imperial and early Christian Rome by peeling back layers and millenniums of history as you descend into the Eternal city’s underground burial chambers, its long winding catacombs and its crypts.
Go below and beyond to a time when Christianity was considered a simple cult whose members were executed as pagans and buried as martyrs.
The one and only Rome tour that takes you to crypts and Roman catacombs from different historical eras, in diverse locations in Rome and with varying styles.
Much of what Rome has to offer is buried underground -- and through this tour, our guests can discover the underside of Rome through three select sites – an exclusive viewing of the Cripta dei Cappuccini, Domitilla, San Callisto or San Sebastiano Catacombs (ancient Christian burial ground) and the Basilica of San Clemente (built over an ancient fourth century church built over an even older Roman house containing Christian artifacts and a pagan temple -- with ruins reaching 57 feet deep).
