What each tour covers
Hear a stop from this walk
Basilica di San Clemente: The Three-Layer Section
- Colosseum and the Forum: Walking Ancient Rome's Spine: Rome's power-spine walked end to end: from the arena where emperors bought the crowd, down the triumphal road, through the forum that ran an empire, up the hill where the city was born, to the capitol that gave the world the word capital.
- San Clemente and the Celian Hill: The City Underneath: A vertical walk through Rome on and around the Celian hill, where a single church can hold three cities at once and the older, stranger town is usually still down there, holding everything up.
