Afterwards, on your way to St. Clemente's Basilica you will stop at the Ludus Magnus, the arena where gladiators used to train and learn combat techniques to use during the cruel fights.

Finally, you will reachSt. Clemente's Basilica, to visit its stunning undergrounds. This Basilica is one of the best places to learn about life in Ancient Rome, since the building features different levels, each dating back to different centuries. In the 1st century St. Clemente's Basilica was a real Roman house (one of the famous “insulae”,) while in the 2nd century it turned into a Mithraeum (the place where the Romans worshiped the God Mithra). One more jump forward in time and you will be in the 4th century, when St. Clemente’s Basilica was converted into an early Christian basilica. It will be like traveling in a time machine going back in the centuries: kids will love it!
