New On ViatorCatacombs and Early Christian Rome
The visit to the catacombs and early Christian Rome is an exciting and unexpected experience that enriches the spirit and introduces the visitor into a rarefied, hidden world, where the advent of Christianity takes shape and substance with the first communities, which gathered in these burial places and where they would live for about 3 centuries. The Appian Way is a masterpiece of ingenuity and method, a work that still attracts scholars and technicians who come here to study it and take it as a source of inspiration. The Basilica of Santa Sabina and the adjacent Orange Garden are an example of rebirth after the barbaric devastations that marked the end of the Roman Empire. Austere and simple forms and decorations give life to a new style that will be present for many decades, the Romanesque.
