Discover imperial and early Christian Rome
by peeling back layers and millennia of history
as you descend into the Eternal city's
underground burial chambers, its long winding
catacombs and its crypts. Your guide will
explain the secrets of the Cappuccini Crypt, a
series of chapels decorated entirely by human
bones. You will also learn about the Domitilla
Catacombs, an ancient Christian burial ground,
and the Church of San Clemente, built over an
ancient fourth century church which was built
over an even older Roman house containing
Christian artifacts and a pagan temple almost 20
metres below ground level.
Tour guide, tickets to Domitilla Catacombs
and the church of San Clemente and
air-conditioned transportation.
Appropriate dress should be worn in places
of worship. The sights visited are mostly
underground so the tour may not be suited to
those who suffer from claustrophobia.
This tour is operated in air conditioned vehicles.
