Your Experience
Prepare for an memorable journey as your perception of Rome is transformed from its bustling center to the outskirts along the historic Appian Way. Experience round-trip transfers that take you directly to the renowned Catacombs of St. Callixtus, where a guide will lead you through these expansive underground labyrinths housing ancient resting places.
These catacombs emerged due to limited land availability for burials and changing funerary customs over time as religions and cultures evolved. Your expert guide will navigate you through the 2,000-year-old tunnels filled with early Christian symbols carved into marble slabs that protect gravesites. Discover the Crypt of St. Cecilia, revered as the patron saint of music who is believed to have invented the organ; her statue stands amidst fascinating biblical mosaics and reliefs.
On Wednesdays, consider visiting the Catacombs of Domitilla instead, where you can explore some of Rome's most intricate tombs. Your friendly specialist guide will illuminate these hidden depths with fascinating insights into ancient Roman history.
