San Salvatore on air. CRYPT, extraordinary opening with Olga
Overview
Emotions, more than words, will help you read and understand. Crossing the portal of the church and being immersed in another atmosphere, being transported to another Rome is one and the same.
The real discovery takes place by passing through the sacristy door and going down the stairs to access the crypt located exactly below the presbytery.
A room that is not too large, almost small, intimate, approximately rectangular in shape with three naves with cross vaults.
A unique emotion to see other stairs opening up before your eyes that lead even deeper, even further in time, even beyond space.
You go down, a road pavement, opus reticulatum walls (dating to the Augustan period), brick walls (slightly later than the Augustan period) and a series of other structures referable to the full imperial age (we are in the period in which the Optimus Princeps, Trajan, i.e. between the 1st century AD and the 2nd century AD).
