Delve into the mysterious and sometimes chilling history of Rome with our unique half day experience, focusing on two of its most powerful subterranean landmarks.

Your journey begins at the ancient Mamertine Prison (Carcer Tullianum), Rome’s oldest jail, built beneath the Roman Forum. This site is traditionally where figures like St. Peter and St. Paul were held before their martyrdom. Using an engaging audio guide, you’ll explore the chilling, stratified stone chambers and learn about the profound impact this site had on the rise of Christianity.

Next, enjoy a comfortable, shared transfer across the ancient Appian Way to the magnificent Catacombs of San Callisto (or similar). This vast, complex network of underground tunnels was the burial ground for dozens of early Popes, martyrs and thousands of Christians. Here, a dedicated live guide will bring the underground cemetery to life, illuminating the secrets, symbols and struggles of the early Christian community in Rome.

This small-group tour is designed for history enthusiasts, providing pre-booked access at both locations to ensure you maximize your time tracing the footsteps of history’s most compelling figures.
