Catacombs

We will begin with the often overlooked church of San Clemente.  After visiting the “new” church which is 900 years old, we will take you below ground to the original church that was built in the 4^th century AD.  And if that wasn’t enough, we will then head even further underground to the pagan and public ruins of the 1^st century AD that are located some 60 feet underground!  This is the one true site in Rome that fully explains the layers of history of the Eternal City.

Temple

Upon emerging back into the modern world, we will board an air-conditioned shuttle to the Catacombs where we will explore the ancient underground world built by the early Christians to bury their dead.

Highlights: San Clemente, Mithraic Temple, Christian Catacombs, and the Appia Antica (Ancient Appian Way).
