Join this Rome Catacombs tour and journey into Rome's underworld. Learn how pagan and Christianity Rome interweave below the city, with your expert guide leading the way.
Enjoy skip-the-line access to the Catacombs of Domitilla and the Basilica of St. Clement; with a 4th century church and Temple of Mithras below. In a small-group of max. 7, you'll discover the secrets of Rome's underground — with all transport between sights included.
First, head 50ft underground to the Catacombs of Domitilla. Here, you'll see Ancient Roman Christians and pagans lying side-by-side. See amazing examples of early-Christian and pagan art together, in the eerie Catacombs.
Next, head to the beautiful Basilica of St. Clement. Enter its underworld and find yourself in a 4th century Christian basilica — richly decorated with frescoes. Go further still to the Temple of Mithras, the worship place of a strange Roman mystery cult, whose weird rituals still capture the imagination today...
