About this activity
Descend 14 meters beneath St. Clement’s Basilica to uncover three layers of history. Explore the city's best-preserved Mithraic temple and learn about ancient Roman pagan cults before Christianity, including their sectarian and esoteric aspects.
After checking in, meet your guide and discover Rome's hidden gem. Hear about early Christian persecutions and martyrs while standing in the 1st-century structure that was St. Clement’s residence.
Experience the eerie atmosphere and touch an underground river. Explore the 4th-century Underground Basilica, built above the martyr's house and below the current basilica.
Walk along its ancient walls, admire the frescoes of martyrs, and conclude your tour at the 12th-century Basilica, marveling at its golden mosaic and hidden symbolism
