Rute

1. Your private driver and guide will come to pick up you at your place and you’ll head outside the ancient city walls to one of the largest catacomb complexes – the ancient burial grounds of the illegal, persecuted Christians in Rome. You’ll descend into this dark maze of galleries lined with hundreds of rectangular graves – now empty niches thanks to the Barbarian raids. You’ll learn all about the burial rituals and decode the secret messages in the frescos and carvings on the terracotta and marble gravestones. You’ll see the tiny oil lamps by which the gravediggers worked and see their pick axe marks and scrapes in the soil and tufa rock around you. A truly unique, fascinating, and awe-inspiring experience.

You’ll see frescoes that have survived since the 8th century and learn about the early church and the martyrs depicted on the walls. You’ll hear why so many churches in Rome were built on top of Pagan temples. You’ll learn all about the mysterious cult of Mithras in the eerie temple beneath, and see the surviving altarpiece of Mithras and the Bull.

About Rom

Rom lægger næsten tre tusind års historie ind i én by, man kan gå rundt i, fra Colosseum og Forum til barokpladser og Vatikanets kunst.

Det antikke Rom er stadig synligt overalt. Colosseum, Forum Romanum og Palatinerhøjen ligger tæt sammen i byens hjerte, Pantheon står endnu med sin åbne oculus, og rester af templer og akvædukter dukker op mellem boligblokkene. På den anden side af Tiberen rummer Vatikanstaten Peterskirken, Vatikanmuseerne og Michelangelos loft i Det Sixtinske Kapel.

Top-ranked sights in Rom: Colosseum, Vatican Museums, Sistine Chapel.
