San Pedro, Catacumbas romanas y el Coliseo (Guiado en español)

Description

Be sure to read the Special Notes further down this page for important requirements and restriction.

Disfrute de un cuarteto de hitos históricos, ricos en importancia cultural en esta visita guiada a pie por la Ciudad Eterna. Su pintoresco viaje en autobús desde el puerto hace su primera parada en las catacumbas romanas. Talladas en tufo, una roca volcánica blanda, fuera de los límites de la antigua Roma porque la ley romana prohibía los lugares de entierro dentro de los límites de la ciudad, las catacumbas cristianas son extremadamente importantes para la historia del arte cristiano primitivo. La majestuosidad de la Basílica de San Pedro, la iglesia más grande del mundo y la gran Plaza de San Pedro, perfilada por una monumental columnata de Bernini, completa las actividades de la mañana. Un almuerzo auténtico de primera clase es un merecido respiro en su activo día antes de continuar hacia el monumento más grande de Roma, el Coliseo, para una parada fotográfica.
