Is it true that every church in Rome is built over the ruins of pagan temples? That's what you will discover when you'll get in Saint Nicholas in Carcere, set over some very old places of worship! A short hop away, by Portico d'Ottavia and Marcellus theatre ruins, you'll cross the oldest bridge of Rome, 2000 years old and still standing!
There you are on the Tiber Island; next comes the underground house of Santa Cecilia, featuring ancient mosaics, mysterious inscriptions and a lavishly ornated crypt; at the end, you will visit the quite unknown church of San Crisogono built over a huge underground house, where archaologists found a large frescoed wall.

Important notice:
This tour is intended as a walk which enters underground areas and places of worship: Should anyone feel uncomfortable in underground spaces, the guide can deal with it; those people will comfortably sit in the top church, while the rest of the group will visit the underground.
