Appia Antica and Catacombs

Have you always believed that the Catacombs served as a secret place for the Christians to hide, hold meetings and practice their forbidden faith and that their existence and purpose were unknown to the Roman governors and its citizens?

Historical experts now know that this is not the case.

On our tour of the ancient Appian Way and the Catacombs just outside of the walled city of Rome, our guides will describe to you the life of the first Christians in Rome, the truth of their persecutions and their relationship with Roman laws and the citizen of that time. The Catacombs present the perfect setting not only to discuss and better understand these times but also, thanks to recent excavations of Roman streets, homes and artefacts which are on display, to truly experience what life might have been like some 2000 years ago.

A great tour for people interested in history, in antiquities, in religion or just fascinated by how much still remains, above and below ground, of ancient Roman life.
