Itinerary

1. 1

   Catacombe di San Callisto

   1h

   Step away from the crowds and the sun-baked streets of Rome to explore the Catacombs of St. Callixtus, an ancient underground necropolis where early Christians buried their dead in secret, popes were laid to rest, and history whispers from every cool, shadowy corridor.

2. 2

   Carcer Tullianum

   1h

   Step into the Mamertine Prison, an ancient underground dungeon where, according to tradition, St. Peter and St. Paul were imprisoned before their execution. Discover one of Rome's oldest and most sacred sites, steeped in over 2,000 years of history and faith.
