Under the church of Santa Maria Della Concezione Dei Cappuccini on the Via Veneto near Piazza Barberini in Rome lies a small area made up of several little chapels known as the Capuchin Crypt. It houses the skeletal remains of 3,700 friars, buried by the Capuchin order, to display memento mori (funerary art that signifies the inevitable truth of mortal life).
Book Capuchin Crypts TicketsDiscover the Pantheon, the ancient Roman temple devoted to all gods. This magnificent structure is one of the best-preserved temples in the world. Formerly, a pagan temple, this has functioned as a Catholic cathedral (Basilica di Santa Maria ad Martyres) in Rome since 609 AD. It lies where a previous temple built by Marcus Agrippa during the reign of Augustus once stood.
Book The Pantheon TicketsToss a coin into Rome's most well-known fountain, the Trevi Fountain. Completed in the 18th century in Rome's Trevi district by Giuseppe Pannini and other individuals, Italian architect Nicola Salvi originally designed this fabulous piece of architecture at the intersection of 3 streets (tre vie). One of the most iconic fountains on the entire planet, it is the largest Baroque fountain in the city.
Book Underground Trevi TicketsUnderneath Rome's celebrated Trevi district and its renowned fountain is the ancient Roman apartment complex from the 1st century, known as Vicus Caprarius or the City of Water. This sculpting marvel showcases a few of the many ancient artifacts discovered during the excavation. Aqua Virgo, one of the 11 aqueducts of ancient Rome continues to feed the Trevi fountain to this day.
This monument was a place of worship in the 3rd century, became a church in the 4th century, and was rebuilt in the 6th and 9th centuries. Filippo Gagliardi once again transformed it in the 17th century. Gagliardi made additions to the architecture and also covered the basilica in frescoes. You can also find artifacts from a more ancient era, like the Corinthian columns that separated the nave and aisles.
Begin your Rome underground tour by exploring the 1st century AD noble residence that serves as the building's foundation. Next, venture into the Mithraeum, which was turned into a place of pagan worship in the former mansion's courtyard. Visit the Basilica of San Clemente at the top of the structure to see stunning mosaics, sacred artifacts, and one of Rome's original aqueducts.
After the Colosseum burned down, Roman emperors held gladiator matches in an ancient Roman structure beneath the famous square. The Domitian Stadium is tucked down beneath Piazza Navona much like a kind of lost city. It is a special UNESCO World Heritage Site that served as Rome's first permanent site for gladiatorial combat and athletic competition.
