TOUR DESCRIPTION
A trip through underground Rome to discover the crypts, catacombs, underground burial chambers and pagan temples that now lie deep below the city's surface. A fascinating way to spend 3 hours in this great city and skip the lines in the Capuchin Crypt!
Book your Capuchin Crypts and Catacombs Walking Tour ahead of time to take advantage of jumping the long queue in the Crypt with an exclusive private viewing! All entrance fees are included in the tour price.Seeing the Capuchin Crypt when it is closed to the general public is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. The space is very small and crowded when open to the general public. This small group private viewing (limited to 20 people!) has been created based on customer feedback to offer a personalized experience. Enjoy more space and quiet to appreciate the Capuchin Crypt on the tour.
You will see the most interesting and mystifying sites of underground Rome, all together in one single tour. 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. Catacombs of the early Christians and the ancient pagans, underground fountains and crypts filled with literally thousands of bones are just a few of the wonders awaiting you in this incredible new experience.
Highlights:
- The Capuchin Crypt: Chapels decorated entirely by human bones. This tour skips the line and you can enjoy a private, exclusive viewing of the Chapels!
- Domitilla Catacombs: ancient Christian burial ground.
- Church of San Clemente: built over an ancient fourth century church which is itself built over an even older Roman house containing Christian artifacts and a pagan temple. The ruins reach 57 feet deep.
