Itinerary

  1. The Basilica, with its 100 feet underground archaeological complex, is one of the great treasures of the world, a place where it is possible to visit and experience different levels of Rome's past like nowhere else. Going down beneath the current church, you enter a 4th-century church that contains some of the most beautiful medieval frescoes in the world, dating from the 8th to the 11th century. Going even further down, you enter the 1st-century area with its Mithraic temple and, through a narrow alleyway, a large public building, around whose foundations flow the lost waters of ancient Rome. Above the excavations is the current 12th-century Basilica, with its magnificent mosaic and frescoes from the early Renaissance.

About Rome

Rome layers nearly three thousand years of history into one walkable city, from the Colosseum and Forum to Baroque piazzas and Vatican art.

Ancient Rome is still in plain sight. The Colosseum, the Roman Forum and the Palatine Hill sit together at the city's heart, the Pantheon still stands with its open oculus, and fragments of temples and aqueducts turn up between apartment blocks. Across the Tiber, Vatican City holds St Peter's Basilica, the Vatican Museums and Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel ceiling.

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