What to expect

Travel back 2,000 years and physically walk through layers of time exploring the underground sites of Rome!

Visit one of the oldest and largest catacomb complexes, located on the Via Appia, outside of the ancient city walls, Here you will learn how early Christianity changed burial practices. Descend into a 4th-century church built directly on top of the catacombs, go straight into a labyrinth of hand-made tunnels filled with graves. Explore several parts of the catacombs learning about death in ancient Rome and see crypts with pagan and Christian decorative themes including the tomb of Diogenes, the gravedigger who created the endless corridors of graves.

    Travelled as a couple


    Erittäin mielenkiintoinen ja paljon tietoa sisältävä opastettu kierros! Opas tiesi katakombeista ja niihin liittyvistä asioista laajasti ja osasi kertoa historiasta elävästi. Pienryhmäkierros antaa paljon enemmän kun pääsee näkemään kohteet läheltä ja opas pystyy ottamaan kaikki kierroksella olijat huomioon. Oppaasta välittyi kiinnostus ja innostus historiaan ja asiaan syvä perehtyneisyys.
