What to do and see in Celio, Lazio: The Best Sights & Landmarks
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.

Dating from the 7th century, this church is also known as the church of the Navicella, because of the reproduction of a Roman boat in a fountain in front of the structure.

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.

You aren't going to see another church like this in Rome, if only because of the Romanesque elements, which are comparatively rare in the Eternal City. The Caelian Hill itself is quiet and much less trafficked, and this church is a kind of oasis...Carolingian-looking lions flank the entrance, and it has the best Medieval mosaics and cosmatesque flooring I've ever seen. A wonderful hodge-podge, set into ancient Roman homes (others have reviewed the Domus Romani, but I haven't been yet)...do make the time to visit. And as others have said, there's a WC.

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.

The Case Romane (Roman Houses) are a collection of connected rooms/dwellings from the 2nd and 3rd centuries, beneath the Basilica de Giovanni e Paolo, that were only just excavated during the 19th century. There remain a few frescoes and decorative floors that are remarkable considering the many centuries that they were buried underground. We mostly had the site to ourselves during the hour or two that we stayed there. Walking through those ancient rooms was fascinating.
