Rome Catacombs Tour

THE ROME CATACOMBS TOUR

These vast underground tunnel systems, span for miles and created spaces far from the living where people would gather to secretly pray to their martyrs, prophets and to show the many religious relics which were outlawed to be shown in public during this period.

There are two wonderful aspects to consider when discussing this experience; the catacombs themselves and the workmanship, details of the artistry, morbid display of the dead (no longer done) and just the wonder of what the catacombs are. Then there is the entire aspect of the persecuted Christians hiding out to pray and grow their religion under the penalty of death and how they used these underground cemeteries as makeshift churches for hundreds of people.

You will be able to not only see the amazing mosaics in the tombs of the rich including some paintings dating back to before the 2nd century but also the rooms and halls that the Christians gathered in and you can even imagine the Roman soldiers storming down the stairs into the torch lit catacombs to arrest the hiding worshipers.
This experience can be done with a group tour with scheduled departures or on a private tour with your own transportation and tour guides.
