Descrizione

A walking tour in Rome up on the Celio hill that will unveil some hidden secrets of early Christianity in the pagan imperial Rome.
Rome the dawn of Christianity walking tour will take you to discover some of the most ancient Christian churches in Rome that date back to the early days of Christianity: it starts from the central square of "Porta Capena" just in front of the Circus Maximus and two minutes walking from the Metro B line stop "Circo Massimo".
Most of the Christian churches along our path hide underground crypts or are built on top of "Roman domus" used as places of cult as it was prohibited to publicly worship the new Christian religion under the Empire: the "domus ecclesiae" (church house literally).
We will gently climb the west side of the "Celio hill", one of the original seven on which Rome was established at first, to reach the top and descend on the opposite side in the narrow valley between the Celio hill and the Esquilino hill.
Our main stops will be: the Basilica of St. Giovanni e Paolo (visit interior), the church of St. Maria in Domnica, the church of Santo Stefano Rotondo (visit interior), the Basilica of S. Clemente (visit interior and the underground levels with entrance ticket), to end by the Ludus Magnus, the headquarters of the gladiators ready to fight in the Colosseum.
There we will enjoy an Italian gelato and a casual conversation, then: "ciao" 'till next time!
