Rome's Underground Mysteries

Rome, an ancient city built up over the centuries, continues to harbor secrets. Some of those secrets are revealed to individuals who are willing to descend beneath its surface to explore its cultural layers.

Visitors to these sites will find ancient dwellings, tunnels for aqueducts, catacombs, and even Mussolini's bunker.

Some sites are more accessible than others, but all offer a rare perspective on Rome's past and shed light on a history that has existed in darkness for centuries.
