About
Hurtige fakta: The basilica reveals three layers of history stacked on top of each other, from a 1st-century Mithraic temple to a 12th-century medieval church. Visitors can marvel at vivid frescoes that have survived centuries underground.
Højdepunkter: Descend into a lower basilica where centuries-old frescoes narrate ancient Christian stories with striking detail and colors that defy time. The air feels cool and almost sacred, amplified by the quiet drip of water echoing in the stone corridors.
Insider tips
- Wear comfortable shoes as the site involves stairs and uneven floors.
- Photography is allowed without flash, perfect for capturing vibrant frescoes.
- Visit during weekdays and early hours to avoid crowds.
- Look up to catch intricate mosaic details often missed at first glance.
