TOURS OF THE UNDERGROUNDS OF ROME
Rome was once the largest City in the world, as it was the Capitol City
of the largest western Empire from the 1st Century BC to the 5th Century
AD. Almost abandoned during the Dark Ages its buildings were left with
no maintenance and ruined down: earthquakes, water floods, ant the time
itself covered the ancient buildings under 20 or even 30 feet of
sediments, bricks and marbles. After the first millennium AD and in the
Renaissance the medieval and modern Rome were built over the ruins of
the roman buildings, sometimes recycling the old structures but most of
the times just building on top ignoring what was underground.
Today hundreds of crypts, rooms, fountains, houses, temples, tombs are
still perfectly preserved underground. It is an unique treasure not open
to everyone, but a visit to Rome which does not includes this sites will
be like missing one of Rome most attractive aspects. Most of the sites
are not open to the public not accompanied by a Guide.
