  • Descend into ancient underground Rome

    Your journey begins at the Catacombs of Domitilla, one of Rome’s oldest and largest underground cemeteries. With over 17 km of tunnels, this sacred burial ground dates back to the 2nd century AD. Walk through the dimly lit passageways as your expert guide reveals the history of early Christian burials, hidden tombs, and secret symbols.

    Discover an underground Basilica

    Unlike any other catacombs in Rome, Domitilla features a subterranean basilica dedicated to Saints Nereus and Achilleus. Stand in awe of its ancient frescoes, some of which date back to the 4th century, depicting biblical scenes and Christian martyrs.

    A peek into Rome’s religious past

    Your guide will unravel stories of persecution, faith, and survival, explaining how these catacombs became sacred pilgrimage sites during the Middle Ages. As you explore, you’ll see the transition from pagan burial traditions to Christian iconography, bringing history to life beneath the Eternal City.
