Overview

No monument in Rome speaks to the Eternal City’s layered history better than the Basilica of San Clemente—a medieval basilica built atop an ancient church, where you can still see the ruins of a 3rd-century Mithraeum and Roman villa. But without a guide to offer explanations, it isn’t easy to grasp the site’s millennia-long history. Visit every level on this private guided tour, with tickets to the excavations included.
  • Private tour means a personalized experience, with undivided attention from your guide
  • Choice of morning and afternoon start times for easy, hassle-free scheduling
  • Go deeper than your standard visit, and learn about the building’s ancient foundations
  • Understand the history of Mithras worship and how it rivaled early Christianity

  • Guided Tour of the Basilica of San Clemente
