Discover the hidden depths of Rome on this 3-hour guided tour through two of the city's most fascinating underground sites. Explore the Basilica of San Clemente, a unique three-layered complex that unveils nearly 2,000 years of history, from medieval frescoes to an ancient temple of Mithras. Then, visit the Capuchin Crypt on Via Veneto, where the bones of over 3,700 friars form intricate decorations, offering a striking reflection on the passage of time. Led by an expert Catholic guide, this immersive experience provides deep historical and religious insights, making it a must for those interested in Rome’s underground secrets.
Our tour begins with a visit to the Basilica of San Clemente, a remarkable journey through three distinct historical periods. We will start in the Upper Basilica, built in the 12th century, where stunning mosaics and medieval frescoes illustrate sacred stories with rich detail. Descending to the 4th-century Basilica, we will step into a space once used by early Christians for prayer and gatherings. Finally, at the deepest level, we will explore the remains of an ancient temple dedicated to Mithras, revealing the complex layers of Rome’s spiritual past. Here, you will gain insight into how the first Christians sought refuge underground to freely practice their faith.

These remains have been carefully arranged in chapels, forming intricate designs that serve as a poignant reminder of life’s transience.
