Santi Cosma e Damiano Church (Chiesa dei Santi Cosma e Damiano) Tours and Activities

Visit the sacred city of Assisi and the medieval hill town of Orvieto on this full-day private tour from Rome. Learn about the birth of the Franciscan movement as you explore the relics of UNESCO-listed Assisi. After lunch (own expense), continue to charming Orvieto to admire the magnificent Cathedral of Orvieto and hear stories of religious legends, Saints and miracles as you explore its hallowed halls.

The traces of the Middle Ages seem slight in Rome, today dominated by the imposing Ancient Roman remains and by the elegant palaces built in the Renaissance. Yet, if you know where to look, you can find ignored, almost forgotten wonders… Thanks to our knowledgeable and passionate guide, you will discover some of the 300 towersthat dominated the city center in Medieval times, including the famous and imposing Torre delle Milizie and Torre del Grillo. You will also visit the Basilica of Saint Cosmas and Damian, with its famous mosaic in byzantine style, and you will end the tour in the marvellous Basilica of Santa Prassede, a little-known jewel that hides a golden treasure!

This tour is for those who want to discover the pillars of the Roman Empire! It is the result of the collaboration with the Mapful App, a new Italian project to map the accessibility of public spaces. The driver will accompany you to the Capitoline Hill, the starting point of this guided tour, with 7 stops in 1500 meters. On its top, Michelangelo designed the actual marvelous Square. If only for the Monumental Square with the Marco Aurelio equestrian statue and the killing views on the Roman Forum, this is one of the must-see spots of Rome. Going down the hill, you will pass by the copy of the she-wolf that nursed Romolo and Remo. You will stop to hear the history of the Empire, while admiring its fascinating ruins. You will visit an unicum, the Saints Cosma and Damiano Basilic. If the Colosseum still needs to be presented, we invite you to read more below.
