St. Clemente Basilica with Underground Experience Visit

About this experience

The Basilica of San Clemente is one of the most fascinating and surprising treasures of Rome, a true journey through over 2,000 years of history.
On the surface, admire the elegant 12th century medieval basilica, famous for its magnificent apse mosaic and cosy atmosphere.

Descending into the underground levels, you will find yourself in the early Christian basilica of the fourth century, decorated with extraordinary frescoes that tell stories of saints and martyrs.

Further down, you will discover remains of 1st century Roman buildings, including an ancient mithraea dedicated to the cult of Mithras.

Each level reveals a different era, showing how Rome has transformed over time without ever erasing its past.

The Basilica of San Clemente is an unmissable experience for those who want to understand the deep soul of the city, where archaeology, art and spirituality coexist in a unique and fascinating way.
