Rome San Clemente Basilica and Underground Excavations Tour
Discover one of Rome’s most fascinating hidden treasures on a guided visit of San Clemente Basilica and its underground excavations. With a licensed guide, descend through layers of history: from the medieval basilica to the 4th-century church below, then into ancient Roman rooms and the Mithraeum beneath the city. Please note: until mid-2027, scaffolding will be present in the upper Basilica only. Arrive at the entrance at least 15 minutes before the time indicated on your ticket. The entrance to the Basilica and the excavations is located in Piazza di San Clemente. Please look for the guide holding a Gyash Tours flag. A reservation is required to access the archaeological excavations.

Where this sits in Rome
Rome is about 33 min by road from Rome Fiumicino Airport. Three thousand years stacked on top of each other, still busy being a capital. Stay central and walk — the Forum, the Pantheon and a dozen churches worth the detour are closer together than the map suggests, and the city rewards wandering more than ticking off.
