Discover the San Clemente Basilica, one of the city’s most fascinating archaeological treasures. Unlike typical sightseeing tours, this experience takes you beneath the surface to explore three remarkable layers of history - from a stunning 12th-century basilica to a 4th-century early Christian church, and even deeper, a mysterious 1st-century Roman house and pagan temple.
With a knowledgeable local guide by your side, you’ll walk through ancient frescoes, explore underground tunnels, and learn incredible stories about the people, religions, and cultures that shaped Rome over two millennia. Whether you’re a history buff, an archaeology enthusiast, or simply curious to see a side of Rome most tourists miss, this tour offers a rare, intimate glimpse into the city’s past.
Skip the crowds and dive deep into Rome’s layered history — a captivating journey full of hidden secrets and awe-inspiring sights.
