Overview

The name of the neighborhood "Trastevere" literally means "Beyond the Tiber". In ancient times, Jews and freedmen (slaves who had purchased their freedom) lived here. Trastevere is one of the most beautiful and ancient neighborhoods of the city, rich in history, legends and underground places. We will begin our journey to discover some Domus (ancient Roman houses) under the church of Santa Cecilia in Trastevere. Walking through the small streets of Trastevere, we will talk about its curiosities and particularities, arriving at the church of Santa Maria in Cappella. A small unknown church dating back to the eleventh century. We will then accompany you to the Tiber Island to show you where Rome was born. The experience is suitable for everyone.

    Santa Cecilia in Trastevere

    You will be accompanied by our expert guides to discover one of the most ancient basilicas of Christianity: Santa Cecilia in Trastevere, dating back to 220 AD. Here, after admiring the surface part of the basilica, we will descend into the basement of Santa Cecilia in Trastevere, where we will have the opportunity to visit the remains of an ancient Roman settlement among amphorae, mosaics and ancient structures such as ancient Roman domus. But it doesn't end there: because in the basement you will also find the sacred place where Santa Cecilia was martyred and the crypt dedicated to her in 1913, a real jewel of Art Deco.

    Santa Maria in Cappella

    In the Church of Santa Maria in Cappella you will have the opportunity to visit one of the rare glimpses of a Rome that no longer exists: the medieval one. Here we will get away from the chaos of the city to enter a quiet and hidden place where our Guide will also illustrate the medieval history of the Eternal City in what was first a convent and then a hospital for pilgrims who visited Rome centuries ago.

    Fiume Tevere (Pass By)

    We will walk along the course of the Tiber, the river of the city of Rome. During this walk you will not only be able to see the beautiful river panorama of the Eternal City, but also discover the origin of its name and the populations who inhabited it. Yes, you got it right, the Romans were not the only ones, others lived here before them!

    Ponte Cestio (Pass By)

    One of the only two bridges preserved since ancient times (its older brother is located just across the river at the Tiber Island). Think it's so old that even Julius Caesar crossed it! Yes, you will walk exactly where the famous Roman dictator laid his steps and you will have the opportunity to listen to our Guide who will tell you about the ingenious building techniques of the ancient Romans who were able to build bridges that still dazzle the floods of the Tiber River and have resisted for more than 2000 years!

    Isola Tiberina

    At the Tiber Island we will conclude our journey through time exploring the various historical eras that have followed, starting from pre-Roman times, then moving on to the constructions of the ancient Roman Republic that made this island a huge marble ship (we will show you the traces of this fascinating work), then along the Middle Ages, when an important convent was built on the island over the remains of an ancient pagan temple, and then concluding with the obscure events that took place on the Tiber Island during the Second World War.
