Underground Rome Capuchins' Crypt & San Clemente Basilica Tour

Your tour will commence at the 17th century Triton Fountain in Piazza Barberini, and you will then visit the Church of Santa Maria della Concezione dei Cappuccini and the Capuchin Crypt. In this eerie chamber you will be able to ponder the bones of nearly 4,000 monks, and there is also a museum on the site which will be well worth your attention.

30 min

The atmosphere remains somewhat creepy as you enter one of the Roman catacombs, layered underground cemeteries surrouding the city walls. They are embellished by unique hand-carved memorials and constitute a veritable treasure chest of early Christian murals and sculptures.

15 min

You will then move to the area of San Clemente (by metro): an amazing basilica where you will discover three layers of history since the first century A.D.
