CHRISTIAN ROME AND UNDERGROUND BASILICAS

The tour begins at the meeting point in a central location, where a professional guide will welcome you and accompany you on a unique journey to discover the underground treasures of Christian Rome. During this exclusive tour, you will have the opportunity to explore some of the city's most important and lesser-known churches, with a special focus on hidden places and underground wonders.
The journey starts in the Lateran area, whose name comes from the family that once owned the land where the first Popes resided. Here, you will visit the Basilica of St. John Lateran, the oldest of the four papal basilicas, known as "The Church of Rome" and the seat of the Bishop of Rome.
We will then proceed to the Basilica of St. Clement, the only church in Rome built on three levels, spanning from the 1st to the 12th century. You will be able to explore its underground areas, including the Mithraic altar dating back to the 1st century, which will transport you to a distant era. The tour will continue to the Church of the Four Crowned Saints, a historically rich site where extraordinary frescoes depicting the Zodiac, the Four Seasons, the Liberal Arts, and King Solomon were discovered in 2002.
Finally, the tour will conclude with a visit to the Basilica of St. Peter in Chains, famous for the chains that, according to tradition, were brought to Rome by Helena, mother of Emperor Constantine, and for the miracle that joined the chains of St. Peter. The church is also renowned for Michelangelo's statue of Moses, created for the tomb of Pope Julius II.
Throughout the entire tour, the guide will accompany you with in-depth explanations, revealing the history and secrets of these sacred places. Appropriate attire is required for entry into sacred sites: legs must be covered to the knee and shoulders must be covered; it is recommended to bring a scarf if necessary. The tour is designed for small groups to ensure an intimate and engaging experience. If you have mobility issues, we recommend opting for a private tour to tailor the experience to your personal needs.
