Description
All the mistery of Underground Rome. At your own pace.
Think of Rome as a big lasagna. Each layer belongs to a different era, spanning from ancient Rome to modern times.
On this special tour of Rome’s Underground we’ll bring you down deep to Early Christian times. That’s when the first Catacombs were settled to give a secret burial to thousands of people persecuted by the Romans.
You’ll visit one of the largest Catacombs in town and will wonder how humans were able to build such a site almost 2.000 years ago!
Next stop will be even more impressing, if possible. Infact we’ll take you to the Crypt of Capuchins where world-wide known Bone Chapels are displayed.
Such a unique place dates back to the 18th century and it probably represents one of the most creepy and odd burial grounds ever conceived.
This sensitive topic will be professionally dealth with. A YouLocal expert guide will unreveal the secrets and meanings behind the bizarre choise of artistically displaying the bones of 4.000 monks.
Got curious? Join us then and be ready for a unique exploration of Underground Rome!
