Your experience


Enter the veiled ancient Roman world of the dead with a specialized tour guide at St. Callixtus Catacomb. Dating back to the 2nd century, the catacombs consist of galleries used by the Romans to bury their dead. These ancient cemeteries carry a unique history that you can dive into in your preferred language.


As you walk around, find fascinating art like frescoes, inscriptions, and sarcophagi. Take note of intriguing iconography as you wander amidst tombs of varying complexity, from small loculi to grander arcosolia! Don't miss the Crypt of St. Cecilia, honoring the patron saint of music. Her evocative statue lies amidst biblical mosaics and reliefs. Leave with an appreciation for the innovative and deeply emotional underground architecture – and maybe even the chills
