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 of San Nicola in Carcere. Explore its ruins, descend beneath the altar, and discover atmospheric remains of ancient temples hidden beneath the church. The historic Forum Holitorium, an ancient market surrounded by Republican-era temples, lies concealed beneath the basilica, adding layers to the city's rich history. 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 just one of our popular tours of Rome which gives you a different perspective on the fascinating culture of the Eternal City.
