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: The Cappuccini Crypt, chapel decorated entirely by human bones; Domitilla Catacombs, ancient Christian burial ground; the Church of San Clemente, built over an ancient fourth century church which, in turn, was built over an even older Roman house containing Christian artifacts and a pagan temple, with ruins reaching 57 feet in depth.
Tour highlights:
• Capuchin Crypt
• Catacombs of Domitilla, SAn Calisto or SAn Sebastiano
