Colosseum & Basilica of San Clemente Undergrounds Experience

Visit the Roman Forum, Palatine Hill, and Colosseum and complete your experience by exploring different levels of Rome’s past at the Basilica of San Clemente in Rome, which is made up of two churches, one built over the other.

Meet your host at the Touristation office (Piazza Ara Coeli 16) where you are provided with preliminary information and immerse yourself in the past with a captivating multimedia video presentation, crafted by a renowned company with credits from UNESCO, BBC, and National Geographic. Witness the evolution of Rome through stunning visual narratives before venturing into the iconic landmarks.

Set off on foot to see the Forum, Palatine Hill first and the Colosseum at the end of your visit. Discover the Archaeological Park on your own: Roman Forum, Palatine Hill first and, at the end, step inside one of the world's most famous monuments, the Colosseum (the entrance to the Colosseum will be approximately 2 hours after the meeting point time.)

A five-minute walk from the Colosseum, there is one of the world’s great treasures, a place loved by pilgrims, students of art and visitors from all over the world.

Here, like nowhere else, it is possible to visit and experience different levels of Rome's past: the Basilica of San Clemente and the excavations. Descending below the present church, one enters a 4th century church containing some of the world’s finest medieval frescos, dating from the 8th to the 11th century. Going down lower again, one enters the 1st century area with its Mithraic temple, and across a narrow alleyway, a large public building, around whose foundations flow the lost waters of ancient Rome. Above the excavation stands the present 12th century Basilica, with its magnificent mosaic, early renaissance frescoes, the 6th century marble chancel from the earlier church, the Cosmatesque floor.

Feel free to join the city tour (Piazza Navona/Pantheon/Trevi Fountain) that departs daily from the Touristation Navona office at Piazza Navona 25 to discover some of Rome's hidden treasures.
