What to expect

Travel back 2,000 years and physically walk through layers of time exploring the underground sites of Rome!

Visit one of the oldest and largest catacomb complexes, located on the Via Appia, outside of the ancient city walls, Here you will learn how early Christianity changed burial practices. Descend into a 4th-century church built directly on top of the catacombs, go straight into a labyrinth of hand-made tunnels filled with graves. Explore several parts of the catacombs learning about death in ancient Rome and see crypts with pagan and Christian decorative themes including the tomb of Diogenes, the gravedigger who created the endless corridors of graves.
