UNDERGROUND TOUR
"Look beneath the surface; let not the several quality of a thing nor its worth escape thee" (Marcus Aurelius)
Thirty feet underground lies a fascinating world of ancient wonders. Specially designed to provide you with a memorable experience and broaden your knowledge of Rome's buried treasures and hidden layers, this tour will take you off the beaten track, on a subterranean journey back in time.
One of Imago Artis Tour's professional guides will lead you beneath the hustle and bustle of modern day Rome, to a silent, eerie city of villas, baths, crypts, necropolises, and aqueducts.You will roam through the underground maze of the catacombs, whose tunnels, burial chambers and wall decorations provide a rare glimpse into the earliest centuries of Christian faith.
You will have the opportunity to visit the impressive three-levelled church of San Clemente, a 12th century church that was built on top of a 4th century basilica, which in turn was erected over a 3rd century pagan temple dedicated to the god Mithras, a 2nd century domus and Roman remains from the 1st century.
The guided tour will also lead you beneath the 5th century church of St. John and Paul, to the Case Romane al Celio, an extraordinary archaeological complex of residential buildings from the Roman era, decorated with stuccos and magnificent frescoes dating back to the 3rd century. San Nicola in Carcere's underground levels are also included in the tour.
These house the remains of three pagan temples dedicated to Janus, Juno and Hope – fascinating excavations from the Republican era.
