Excavations under the Basilica of San Crisogono reveal impressive remains of the early Christian church, built by the V century transforming a private house. The baptistry,  the semicircular crypt with a fenestella confessionis and the stories of Saint Benedict frescoed on the walls are of the greatest interest.

Through picturesque medieval alleys we reach the majestic Basilica of Santa Cecilia. Beneath the IX century church we visit an ancient domus and an insula, later used as foundations for the early Christian basilica, the early baptistry and the crypt.
