Meeting Point
Full Description
Discover the mysteries buried deep beneath Rome on a guided tour of the Domitilla Catacombs. Enjoy the ease of a transfer from a central meeting point as you journey into the world of early Christianity and visit the underground Basilica of Saints Nereus and Achilleus.
Meet your guide in the heart of Rome and travel by minivan along the historic Appian Way. Arrive at one of the city’s oldest and most extensive catacomb complexes, then descend 16 meters (52 feet) below ground into Domitilla’s atmospheric tunnels.
Wander through a vast network of burial chambers spread across four levels. Admire ancient frescoes depicting scenes from mythology and the Bible, and uncover the meaning behind their symbolic imagery.
Learn how Christianity took root in Rome, hear stories of early believers, and understand the struggles and persecutions they faced. Experience the thrill of moving through layers of centuries-old history with every step.
Your journey ends in the impressive 4th-century subterranean basilica dedicated to Saints Nereus and Achilleus. Afterwards, relax in the minivan as you’re driven back to the city center.
