Embark on an unforgettable journey through ancient Rome's underground wonders, exploring crypts, catacombs, and burial chambers with an expert guide. The Original Crypts and Catacombs of Rome Tour begins in Piazza Barberini, where human corpses were once publicly displayed. The tour's highlight is the Capuchin Crypt, featuring Caravaggio's "St. Francis in Meditation" and the artistic arrangement of 4,000 Capuchin monks' bones.

Next, travel comfortably to the Christian Catacombs, a network associated with the first Christians in ancient Rome. Descend into volcanic rock corridors, discovering frescoes and burial places doubling as places of worship during persecution. Led by an expert guide, navigate extensive catacombs revealing tales of a bygone era.

Complete your underground experience with a historic visit to the Basilica San Martino ai Monti, a church rich with hidden layers of history.
