Rome: Appian Catacombs tour with transfere – Rome, Italy

EXPERIENCE:

Come along with us to discover the Appian Catacombs escorted by your driver. The incredible Catacombs among the greatest and most important of Rome became the official cemetery of the Church of the city.

The catacombs of the Appian Way are essentially the underground graveyards of the first Christians in Rome, who had to bury their dead outside of the city. Even as early as the 5th century BC, burials within the city walls were forbidden, so tombs were built on the outskirts of Rome. As an important consular road connecting Rome with the south, the Appian Way was a popular spot for burials. The catacombs are excavated in a type of stone that is typical of central Italy and called tufa. The catacombs were abandoned in the Middle Ages and rediscovered in the Renaissance. Not all of them can be visited and the only way to access them is by a guided tour.

This tour is an in-depth experience; we recreate the context and stories of the past, which have left a long last legacy, the guides and the drivers are selected for their knowledge, enthusiasm and for sharing their passion for Rome with you.
