Top Attractions To See on Your Rome Underground Tour
Capuchin Crypts and Catacombs
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 Tickets
The Pantheon
Discover 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 Tickets
Underground Trevi
Toss 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 Tickets
Vicus Caprarius
Underneath 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.
Basilica San Martino ai Monti
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.
San Clemente
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.
Piazza Navona Undergrounds
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.

Visiting the Colosseum was an incredible experience, made even better by our guide. He was an archaeologist, and his depth of knowledge really showed—his explanations were clear and fascinating. The highlight was definitely the underground section, where learning how the Colosseum actually functioned behind the scenes brought the history to life. Overall, a memorable and well-guided tour that I would highly recommend.

It was a great experience. Our guide, David, well known of the history etc, gave us to understand very well how was the colloseo and the surroundings. With humour made everyone laugh and enjoy.

The museum is interesting where it explains who the Capuchin friars were, what they were dedicated to, with descriptions of the most important friars in history. The crypts on the other hand are the real highlight, beautiful mosaics of bones with the smallest pieces of ns body covering all the ceiling arches, chosen with real accuracy. The crypts on the other hand fascinating and scenic also studied in great detail especially in the central parts each with a different theme. I personally had a good time and did not feel the weight of lost souls, probably each of them found peace.

As we bought our tickets in advance, we were able to skip a long queue. We got the audio guides and headphones straight away without queuing and then we were off. The audio guide was great. At the beginning we went through a long gallery. The audio guide explained special paintings and exhibits well. It was also quite interesting. At the end, we went into the crypt. We finished there relatively quickly, but the trip was definitely worth it. Very interesting and worth seeing.

I have been to the catacombs and I must say that the impact is remarkable, an immersion in real history, not the history of books. The thing that impressed me most, however, was the guide. A young girl, very knowledgeable, who did not just repeat the usual notions. She explained the historical contexts and symbologies superbly, with an analytical clarity that made you connect the dots immediately. Truly a professional who enhances the site, making the tour educational and engaging.
Next, I visited the Crypt of the Capuchin Friars with the attached museum. The entire museum tour, supported by an excellent audio guide, provides a basic background on the Order, before getting to the core. The Crypt itself is a work of extreme symbolism: the use of bones as a decorative element is not a macabre gesture, but a tangible and very powerful meditation on the transience of matter and the eternity of the soul. A heavy concept, but expressed with a theatricality that forces you to reflect.
In short, it was an experience that goes far beyond a mere tourist attraction. I absolutely recommend it: it is a fascinating, historically relevant and conceptually stimulating trip. A must-see.

**A Truly Unforgettable Experience – Thanks to Our Guide, Allen**
I booked the *Capuchin Crypt + Catacombs Tour with Transfers* expecting an interesting morning, but it turned out to be one of the most memorable experiences of my entire trip. The sites themselves are extraordinary, but what elevated the tour to another level entirely was our guide, Allen.
From the moment we met him, Allen set the tone with his warmth, professionalism, and incredible depth of knowledge. His commentary wasn’t just informative—it was captivating. He wove history, culture, and human stories together so vividly that the past genuinely felt alive around us. The way he explained the symbolism, traditions, and historical context of the crypts and catacombs added layers of meaning I never would have discovered on my own.
Allen struck the perfect balance between reverence for the sites and engaging storytelling. He answered every question with patience and insight, and his passion for the subject matter was infectious. I left feeling not only informed, but genuinely moved.
The transfers were smooth and well‑organised, making the whole experience effortless from start to finish. But truly, it was Allen who made this tour exceptional.
If you’re considering this experience—do it. And if you’re lucky enough to have Allen as your guide, you’re in for something special.
