The bone chapels
Your first stop is the Museum & Crypt of the Capuchin Friars, housing Caravaggio’s painting of St. Francis and many artifacts from the order's history of creating altruistic projects around the world. Lined along the rear end of the museum are the Capuchin Crypts: resting places of 4000 Capuchin Friars, whose skeletal remains were artistically arranged in the European tradition of memento mori, a simple reminder that all must die.
The sacred Christian catacombs
On a private AC bus, you'll travel along the ancient Appian Way to the extensive catacombs, dug into the ground some 2000 years ago. Follow your historian guide through the network of sacred tunnels associated with the first Christians in ancient Rome. Descend into the labyrinthian corridors carved into the soft volcanic rock as you discover intriguing iconography, fascinating frescoes, and breathtaking burial grounds. You will either visit the Catacombs of St. Callixtus, St. Sebastian, or Domitilla!
Basilica of San Nicola in Carcere
Below the altar of the church, lies the ancient Forum Holitorium. Nestled along the Tiber, this historic market once bustled with commercial and religious activities. Wander its streets, tracing the path of triumphal parades, and explore the awe-inspiring temples of Janus and Juno Sospita. Admire the resilience of ancient columns and stunning frescoes standing tall through fire and flood.
