Itinerary

Catacombe Di Domitilla Stop 1
Meet your guide at the meeting point 20 meters from our office. Here you can have access to free WiFI and leave your luggage (for the duration of the tour). From here, you'll hop on a van to the catacombs. Once in the park of the catacombs, venture 16 meters below the surface into the otherworldly crypts of Domitilla. Explore the accessible part of its endless labyrinth of underground burial chambers laid out on 4 levels. Be captivated by ancient wall-paintings of mythological and biblical figures and discover the religious symbolism of the frescoes. Revive the shift of faith from paganism to Christianity and feel the power of prohibited belief while learning about early martyrs and persecutions. Live the excitement of gradually exploring different layers of history and complete your underworld experience in the 4th-century subterranean Basilica of Nereus and Achilleus.
