CRYPTS AND CATACOMBS
The Underside of Rome
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 tour that takes you to Crypts and Catacombs from different historical eras, in diverse locations and with varying styles. 

Much of what Rome has to offer is buried underground, and on this tour, our guests can discover the underside of Rome through three select sites:

  • The Capuchin Crypt: Chapels decorated entirely by human bones. Our tours  skip the line and enjoy a private, exclusive viewing of the Chapels!
  • Domitilla Catacombs: ancient Christian burial ground.
  • Church of San Clemente: built over an ancient fourth century church which is itself built over an even older Roman house containing Christian artifacts and a pagan temple. The ruins reach 57 feet deep.

  • Standard tour group with a maximum of 24 people per tour guide
