Lateran Palace: Guided Tour

Just footsteps away from the awe-inspiring Basilica of San Giovanni in Laterano - the head of all Roman and world churches - stands the magnificent Lateran Palace. This resplendent palace served as the Pope's residence for centuries. Despite being damaged by earthquakes, raids, invasions, and even decimated by a fire in 1308, the palace has always been meticulously restored. When the papacy returned to Rome in 1377, they chose Vatican as their residence. However, the Lateran Palace, although no longer inhabited, has continued to retain its unique status as the Patriarchium or the "Seat of the Bishop of Rome" over the centuries. Indeed, all newly elected Popes have always celebrated their inauguration at the Basilica of San Giovanni in Laterano.

Basilica San Clemente: Underground Guided Tour

See the 12th-century Basilica of San Clemente, an archaeological wonder near the Colosseum. Descend through three levels of subterranean mystery, each layer revealing over 2,000 years of intriguing history. The basilica boasts a gold mosaic that adds a shimmering glow to its central aisle. Initially shrouded in mystery, the depths of San Clemente were uncovered in 1860 when a flood prompted an Irish Dominican priest and archaeologist to see below. Ongoing excavations still see new secrets. Descend a hundred feet, and the first level reveals a forgotten 4th-century basilica, overshadowed by the 12th-century basilica built above it. Go deeper and find relics of an ancient Mithraic temple with its intact altar. See the skeletal remains of Roman houses, preserving a long-gone era. At the bottom, see the underground spring that sparked the initial discovery.
