Your experience

Uncover the secrets beneath Rome

Your journey begins in Rome, where you'll board a panoramic bus for the Catacombs of Domitilla. Descend into this ancient complex, the oldest and largest in Rome, and discover a network of tunnels adorned with frescoes and Christian symbols. Your expert guide will bring the past to life, sharing stories of the early Christian community who found refuge and faith within these underground walls. If you visit on a Tuesday, you'll visit the Catacombs of St. Callixtus instead. It's the most extensive network of its kind and the final resting place of nine popes!

The bone chapels of the Capuchins

Your final stop is the Museum & Crypt of the Capuchin Friars, featuring Caravaggio’s iconic painting of St. Francis and artifacts showcasing the order’s global charitable efforts. At the museum's rear, the Capuchin Crypts hold the remains of 4,000 friars, their bones meticulously arranged in the European memento mori tradition, offering a poignant reminder of mortality. Explore the unique chapels at your own pace with a multilingual audio guide and reflect on the Capuchins' beliefs about death and the afterlife.
