Itinerary
Meet with your guide at your hotel and travel to Piazza Barberini to begin this unique 3,5-hour travel though Rome’s underworld.
The tour heads first towards the Church of Santa Maria della Concezione dei Cappuccini and the Capuchin Crypt.
Here, housed in five chambers are the skeletal remains of almost 4,000 monks as well as a very interesting museum known as the Bone Chapel.
Admire the Crypt of the Pelvises, which contains 2 Capuchins serenely reclining in an arched position. Look at the crosses on the ground, which mark the graves of the 7 Capuchins. Not far away from here, start your journey to the Roman Catacombs, one of the several subterranean layered cemeteries that surround Rome’s city walls. The catacombs are lined with hand-crafted memorials and house unique treasures from early Christian life; murals and sculptures, learn about art depicting scenes from the Old and New Testament, along with the tombs of early popes and martyrs.
Led by an Archaeologist, explore the tunnels and be amazed by the fascinating history about these sacred places.
