Beneath it lies a 4th-century Christian church, built on a Roman nobleman's house, with medieval frescoes depicting scenes from the life of St. Clement. Further below, a 1st-century Mithraeum, an underground temple dedicated to the god Mithras, reveals ancient Roman religious practices, along with the remains of Roman warehouses and residential buildings.
