About this activity

A 5-minute walk from the Colosseum in Rome, explore the Basilica of San Clemente.

Visit and experience different levels of Rome’s past at The Basilica of San Clemente in Rome, which is made up of two churches, one built over the other. The lower church was in turn built over Roman buildings of the 1st century.

One of these buildings houses an ancient Mithraic temple. Visiting San Clemente means making a real voyage of discovery into the long history of the city, where at every turn one can observe its evolution through the centuries.

San Clemente is a place that never ceases to fascinate, its wealth of history and art continuously givings rise to new studies that challenge our understanding of the past.

To complete your visit of the Eternal City, one round on a panoramic bus with an audio guide is included.
