Descrição geral
Embark on an exclusive Underground Crypts and Catacombs Tour to unravel the mystique of ancient Rome. Our expert-guided journey through concealed realms, including crypts, catacombs, and burial chambers, promises an extraordinary exploration of the city's hidden treasures. Starting in Piazza Barberini, beside the Triton fountain, this unique tour delves into the historical significance of this square, once a public display site for unidentified corpses.
The tour's centerpiece is the renowned Capuchin Crypt, enriched by the official Capuchin Museum. Marvel at Caravaggio's "St. Francis in Meditation" and explore relics from St. Francis's life amidst the artistically arranged bones of 4,000 Capuchin monks. A comfortable coach ride takes you to the Christian Catacombs, revealing the sacred tunnels associated with ancient Rome's first Christians. Navigate labyrinthine corridors carved into volcanic rock, discovering frescoes, peculiar iconography, and burial sites with tales of a bygone era.
Conclude the adventure at the Basilica San Martino Ai Monti, one of the oldest churches in the city. Originally founded in the 4th century and dedicated to all martyrs, it has been rebuilt several times throughout the centuries. Its interior, with Baroque frescoes, ancient columns, and a serene, spiritual atmosphere rooted in its Paleochristian origins, will leave you in awe.
