What To Expect

Half-day walking tour of Christian Rome to discover the underground treasures of some of the most sensational churches. The tour begins in the Lateran area, whose name derives from the family that owned the territory where the first Popes resided before going to Avignon in France and then returning to Rome in the Vatican area. Visit to the Basilica of San Giovanni in Laterano, the oldest of the four Papal Basilicas, considered "The Church of Rome", the mother of all churches. The tour continues with a visit to the Basilica of San Clemente, the only church in Rome to be built on 3 different levels, from the 1st to the 12th century and you can explore the underground floors, including the 1st century Mithras Altar. Continue towards the Church of Santi Quattro Coronati, dedicated to four anonymous saints and martyrs. The visit ends with the Basilica of San Pietro in Vincoli renowned for the statue of Moses that Michelangelo created in 1545 for the tomb of Pope Julius II.
