Seven Wonders - Rome | Underground Rome (Episode 3)

96

Episode 3: The underground of Rome is a fascinating journey into a great variety of environments, some born underground, others buried and guarded for centuries, which tell the other half of the story of what happened on the surface. These secret places are the result of centuries of stratification, construction and reconstruction: tuff and pozzolana quarries, sumptuous buried buildings, such as Nero's Domus Aurea, temples of initiatory cults, labyrinthine Christian cemeteries. Underground Rome is a real time machine whose surface hides stories of common men and emperors, of saints and gods, of ancestral religions, of magical cults. You will see the most varied environments: from the intimate Colombario Di Pomponio Hylas, to the mysterious Nymphaeum of Via Livenza, to the sumptuous Barberini Mitreum. The journey can only end with the largest and most complex underground architecture of the capital: the Catacombs of San Callisto and those of Domitilla.
