A tour of Underground Rome is a more unusual and unknown way of touring Rome, through which the visitor enjoys continuous surprises and emotions which are difficult to find elsewhere.
It’s a buried city, made of hypogea, columbaria and Mithraea, but also buildings made to be illuminated by sunlight and then ending up buried by the stratification of the soil with the slow passing of time.
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 through this tour, our guests can discover the underside of Rome through three select sites – an exclusive viewing of The Cappuccini Crypt (chapel decorated entirely by human bones), Saint Sebastian or Saint Callistus Catacombs (ancient Christian burial ground) and the Church of Saint Clemens (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).
