Rome Catacombs and Mamertine Prison Tour, 2 hr

Explore two evocative landmarks of Rome’s Christian past on a guided visit to the Catacombs and Mamertine Prison. In the ancient catacombs, walk through underground passages once used as burial grounds and places of refuge by early Christians. Frescoes and inscriptions offer glimpses into the beliefs and lives of those who came before.

Continue to Mamertine Prison, one of Rome’s oldest historic sites. According to tradition, Saints Peter and Paul were held here before their martyrdom. A local host leads the group through the experience, while round-trip transportation connects the Catacombs with the rest of the visit. Entrance fees to both sites are included.

Meet your host in front of the Basilica of Santi Cosma and Damiano; look for a branded T-shirt. This two-hour Rome Catacombs and Mamertine Prison tour brings the city’s early Christian history into focus. Join the group and discover the stories beneath Rome’s streets.
