Rome, Italy: one-day tour to the Church of the Holy Skull, Priscilla's Tomb, and St. Nicholas' Basilica Discover the secrets of Ancient Rome on our tour of the Tombs, Catacombs and Rome's Underground! Start your tour in Piazza Barberini with an expert guide and hear stories of history. Admire Caravaggio's masterpiece "St. Francis in Meditation" and explore relics from St. Francis' life. Head into the crypt, where the skeletons of 4,000 Capuchin monks are artfully arranged on the walls. The Capuchin monks meticulously decorated the floor-to-ceiling design with the bones of nearly 4,000 of their brothers, earning it the macabre nickname of the "Chapel of the Skeletons." Afterwards you'll board a comfortable coach to head to the vast Christian catacombs, which were dug from the ground more than 2,000 years ago. Your history expert guide will explain how this sacred network of tunnels became associated with the first Christians in Ancient Rome. You'll delve into a maze of corridors carved out of the soft volcanic rock, discovering frescoes, strange images, and cemeteries that doubled as places of worship when Christians were in danger. Next, head to the Cathedral of Saint Nicholas in Casere, where you’ll explore its ruins, descend below the altar, and uncover the atmospheric remains of an ancient temple hidden beneath the church. The historic Forum Holitorium, an ancient marketplace surrounded by Republican-era temples, is hidden beneath the cathedral, adding another layer to the city’s rich history.
