The undergrounds of Rome, Mosaics and Michelangelo’s Moses
Overview of your Rome tour
Discover Saint Clemente, a remarkable example of urban stratification with its three layers. Visit the Upper Basilica, featuring stunning medieval mosaics, built over a 4th-century church with original frescoes. Beneath it, explore a temple dedicated to the Persian god Mithras and the remains of an ancient Roman villa. We’ll pause for photos outside the Colosseum and the nearby Ludus Magnus, the gladiator training school. Experience the Jubilee spirit at Saint Peter’s in Chains, home to the relics of the chains that bound Saint Peter and the powerful Moses sculpture by Michelangelo.
