Catacombs of Saint Callixtus - The Catacombs of San Callixtus are among Rome’s most fascinating attractions. While difficult to reach by public transport, our private vehicle service makes it easy, picking you up from your location in Rome and comfortably driving you to the Catacombs’ entrance on the Appian Way. Here, a professional guide will lead you through this ancient Christian burial site. Nestled along Rome’s Appian Way, the Catacombs of Saint Callixtus offer a glimpse into a hidden world. Unlike the city’s above-ground grandeur, these underground tunnels whisper tales of early Christianity and its resilience. Entering this labyrinth is like stepping into a time capsule, filled with:
Eerie Beauty: Imagine narrow corridors, dimly lit by flickering torches, revealing walls adorned with early Christian frescoes and symbols. Intricate carvings of fish, doves, and shepherds tell stories of faith and hope, while skulls nestled in niches remind us of mortality. -
Aurelian Walls - On your return journey, your driver will pass by the famous Aurelian Walls. Imposing Strength: Envision a formidable barrier, nearly 19 kilometers long and 6 meters high. Towers every 30 meters, with weathered stones whispering tales of battles fought and defended. Every crenellation and arrow slit speaks of the walls’ purpose—to protect the heart of Rome for centuries.
Layers of History: Feel the weight of history beneath your feet. Built by Emperor Aurelian in the 3rd century AD, these walls have witnessed empires rise and fall, invasions repelled, and the city evolve around them. Imagine legions marching out to secure borders, emperors surveying their domains from watchtowers, and citizens seeking refuge within their embrace. Engineering Marvel: Look beyond the imposing facade to appreciate the ingenuity behind the construction. Picture builders hauling massive stones, meticulously layering bricks, and creating ingenious drainage systems to ensure the walls’ longevity. - Colle del Gianicolo - Enjoy a breathtaking panoramic view of Rome from Janiculum Hill.
