Description

Step into the hidden world beneath Rome and explore the Catacombs of San Domitilla, one of the oldest and most extensive underground burial sites. Your journey begins at our Show Me Italy office, located on Via dei Serpenti 114. From there, enjoy a guided tour through part of the vast 180-mile network of tunnels, where early Christians sought refuge and laid their loved ones to rest.

As you delve into this fascinating underground world, your expert guide will share captivating stories of religious persecution, burial rituals, and the rise of Christianity in Rome. Marvel at ancient tombs, early Christian artwork, and beautifully preserved frescoes, offering a glimpse into Rome’s past.

The tour lasts 2 hours, including transport, and offers a small-group or private experience. Enjoy comfortable round-trip transfers from our central office, with drop-off near Cavour Metro station. Tours are available in English, Spanish, and French.
