General information
Program details
Take a tour underground to the Rome that few people see and encounter another world full of history, intrigue and excitement. Many sites in Rome lying under street level have been excavated to reveal a treasure of heritage, waiting for you to discover. With this tour, we take you from the famous Spanish Steps to the underground of Trevi Fountain: two of the most emblematic roman landmarks.
Admire the monumental stairway consisting of 135 steps linking the Spanish Embassy to the Trinità dei Monti Church and from here we make our way to the world famous Trevi Fountain. Over the centuries, earthquakes, fires and floods have caused the ground level of many areas to rise (up to 25 metres), resulting in entire villas, temples and palaces being buried. These mysterious parts of the city have now been opened up and are waiting to be discovered - and that’s what this tour will do. Your expert guide will lead you eight metres under the cobblestones of Baroque Rome to the underground of the Trevi Fountain, and your eyes will open to a whole new world dating back to the Imperial age. These enchanting ruins hold fascinating stories and it’s possible to see a labyrinth, staircases, passages, domes from 4th century A.D. and many other archaeological treasures. See various levels of an ancient district on the Caprarius Road (Vicus Caprarius); incredible evidence of one of the most incredible periods in the history of Rome. Before you leave the fountain, throw in a coin and make a wish!
