Once above ground again, continue your visit! Next stop will be just behind the Basilica di Saint Agnes, in the Mausoleo di Costanza. In fact, the basilica is part of a larger, prominent palaeo-Christian funerary complex which is also home to a mausoleum dedicated to Costanza, Emperor Constantine’s daughter. Both his daughters, Costanza and Helena’s remains are buried here, and they have been venerated with priceless 4th century mosaics, some of which depict early versions of Jesus – with long hair and a halo – as he is often still depicted today.
The access to these incredible catacombs and funerary complex is privileged and exclusively granted to our company and our company's groups. An off the beaten path, beautiful and inspiring adventure you are sure to never forget!
Once the tour has ended, you will hop back on your comfortable chauffeur ride, and be taken back to the city centre.
