This very unique church is built on three different levels: in just one site you will be able to admire a 1st century Roman House, a 2nd century Mithraeum and a 4th century Early Roman Basilica. With the help of images and visual aids, our private guide will show you how it was and how it is. This visit will be like to travel through times!
After having visited San Clemente's Basilica, you will walk with your guide to the Crypt of the bones (if you prefer you can take a taxi to be paid on site). This crypt, already known as the Capuchin crypt, is made by real human bones of the Capuchin friars, arranged in objects in six chapels and crypts.
Finally, the guide will take you to the Vicus Caprarius, the City of Water. Located under the Trevi Fountain, here you will admire the rests of the ancient aqueduct of Rome.
