Unearth the secrets of Rome's hidden layers. Experience the city where ancient history whispers beneath modern streets.
Rome is often described as an open-air museum. Yet its most revealing spaces are not visible from the street. Beneath palaces, basilicas, and modern roads lies a second city — sometimes a third. Roman aristocratic houses, early Christian worship spaces, and mystery cult temples coexist in vertical succession. This itinerary follows Rome as a palimpsest: a city that never erased its past but built upon it, layer after layer, transforming meaning without destroying memory.
