CRYPTS AND CATACOMBS / 2010 / From €200 - €280
::: Every Monday, Thursday, Friday & Saturday between 09:00 - 12:00. |
We lead our newest Tour through undisturbed greenfield land due south of Rome on the Appia Antica, within wild and ancient woodland known today as Caffarella Valley. Crypts and Catacombs covers three separate and distinct sites, so we use our air-conditioned limo service to manage the requisite transfers between each location as swiftly and comfortably as possible. Approximately half an hour is spent below ground in each of the 2nd. - 4th. Century AD catacombs of San Callisto, San Sebastiano and Santa Domitilla, toured internally by the presiding religious order. Our Guide will be present to keep you fully informed.
Options to modify this Tour are (1) Ardeatine Caves where 335 Italians were eventually shot and killed by drunk German troops on March 24th. 1944, orders for which came directly from Nazi High Command; (2) Capuchin Crypt, six tiny chapels the last exit for over 4,000 Capuchin Friars who died between 1528-1870; (3) Catacombs of Sant'Agnese and Mausoleum of Santa Costanza, the final resting place of Emperor Constantine's two daughters, Constantina and Helena; (4) Catacombs of Priscilla below the Monastery of the Benedictines of Priscilla preserve the oldest known image of the Madonna and Child, from c. 230 AD.
