Colosseum and Basilica of Saint Clement Tour

3-hour walking tour

"As long as the Colosseum stands, Rome shall stand".

Officially called the Flavian Amphitheater, but much better known as the Colosseum, it is the most emblematic symbol of Rome and its glorious past. We will guide you inside to admire where gladiators and wild animals fought to the death and explore the intricacies of how such a magnificent structure functioned.

Then you will visit the Basilica of Saint Clement, located about 300 meters beyond the Colosseum. The Basilica is a three-level structure where you will be surrounded by the precious architectural and pictorial remains. Your private guide will illustrate the history and the function of the Mithraeum, the early Christian Baptistery, the Imperial mint and the earliest proves of the Italian language.
