• Basilica of San Crisogono - Start your exploration at the Basilica of San Crisogono, one of the oldest churches in Trastevere. Marvel at its grand nave and distinctive marble floor, then descend to the 4th-century basilica below, where pillars, altars, and early Christian frescoes narrate the beginnings of Roman Christianity.

• Santa Cecilia in Trastevere - Stroll through the alleys of Trastevere to find the serene courtyard of Santa Cecilia, where time seems to stand still. Inside the basilica, enjoy the gentle light illuminating mosaics and frescoes, and discover the poignant statue of Saint Cecilia beneath the altar. Descend into the 2nd-century Roman houses, walking on original mosaic floors with ancient walls that still hold traces of daily life frozen in time. Finally, visit the adjacent monastery to admire the remarkable 14th-century frescoes by Pietro Cavallini, masterpieces of medieval art that showcase the shift from Byzantine rigidity to early Renaissance naturalism.

• Tiber Island - Cross the ancient bridge to Tiber Island, the birthplace of Rome’s earliest trade routes and a sacred healing site since ancient times. With an expert guide, uncover the remnants of the temple of Aesculapius, the god of healing, as the island served as a sanctuary for the sick.

• Via Portico d’Ottavia - Conclude your journey by exploring the Jewish Ghetto, home to Europe’s oldest Jewish community. Stand before the Portico of Octavia, dedicated by Emperor Augustus to his sister: once the grand entrance to a vast open-air art gallery, and a millennium later transformed into the city’s fish market, supplied by the nearby Tiber.

• Piazza Mattei - Continue past the Great Synagogue to Piazza Mattei, where the graceful Turtle Fountain whispers tales of tradition and resilience.

This journey through sacred spaces, hidden layers, and living history unveils a Rome you simply cannot miss.
