Right in Trastevere, one of Rome’s most picturesque neighborhoods, lies an underground crypt that hardly anyone knows about.
It’s hidden beneath the Church of San Crisogono. Not only is this one of the oldest churches in Rome, but it’s also a true lasagna of history.
The deepest layer lies 8 meters below ground level, where you’ll find the remains of a 4th-century basilica, along with frescoes that still preserve their vivid colors and ancient decorations.
Here’s what lies beneath.
📍You can find it in Piazza Sidney Sonnino
