9 Historic Sites in Celio That You Shouldn't Miss

April 15, 2022 Sachiko Swiger

Rome wasn't built in a day--and you'll need much more than a day to take in this timeless city. The city is a real-life collage of piazzas, open-air markets, and astonishing historic sites. Toss a coin into the Trevi Fountain, contemplate the Colosseum and the Pantheon, and sample a perfect espresso or gelato before spending an afternoon shopping at the Campo de’Fiori or Via Veneto. Enjoy some of the most memorable meals of your life here, too, from fresh pasta to succulent fried artichokes or a tender oxtail stew.

We had read about this unusual burial crypt and realized it was difficult to arrange. We contacted our guide Silvia Prosperi and she was about to obtain the permit and arrange for the appoint with the Parks Department representative to open it. We learned there are many sights like this that can only be opened by appointment.

Ss. Quattro Coronati

If you wish to elevate the soul attend a Sunday service of the agostinian cloister nuns in an incredible roman basilica that displays an amazing overlapping of architectural modifications that go from the VI century to XVII. A total delight to a lover of architectural style and design.

Chiesa di San Gregorio al Celio

Reviewed By TheWorldDigested

This church is completely different with the others—beautiful mosaic floor. A part of the fun is that you will have to ring the bell to enter. But what a find, like entering into the secret garden. Don’t forget to get some of the medicinal cream made in the monastery!
