Underground Rome Tour

Explore the depths of Rome on this three-hour tour with an expert archaeologist. Led by an experienced guide, you will visit the Vicus Caprarius, a newly opened space showing Roman apartments near the Trevi Fountain, and Sant'Ignazio Church, with its stunning ceiling frescos by Pozzo. You will also explore the subterranean levels of San Lorenzo in Lucina, a medieval church with remnants of its basilica buried in the crypt underneath. The tour may also include a visit to the chic Rinascente department store, which houses the Aqua Virgo aqueduct, inaugurated by Augustus in 19 BC, in its basement.

You may also visit other underground sites controlled by the Comune di Roma or other governmental ministries. This tour is suitable for all ages and abilities, although it does involve going down several flights of stairs and walking on uneven surfaces. Your confirmation email will have the exact meeting point. This tour is a great way to learn about the relationship between the modern city and its history, and the cutting edge of Roman archaeology.
