Rome Underground Archaeology Tour 90 min

Step beneath the streets of Rome’s Trastevere and uncover layers of history hidden below its ancient churches. On this 90-minute private tour, an English-speaking archaeologist leads you into the underground spaces of St. Nicholas Church, built over the foundations of three Roman temples dating back more than 2,000 years.

As you descend, original temple remains emerge within the church’s structure. Continue through a crypt once used for exorcisms, where piles of ancient human bone fragments create a striking glimpse into the past. The route also reaches ancient prisons associated with the legend of St. Nicholas. Along the way, your archaeologist brings the site’s history and stories into focus.

This Rome Underground Archaeology Tour offers a rare look at burial spaces and archaeological remains that many visitors never see. Book your visit to explore the hidden history beneath Trastevere with an expert guide.
