We will start our journey by discovering the hidden gems of Trastevere, such as the Republican Forums. We will visit the bowels of extraordinary and unusual churches. In the underground spaces beneath San Nicola in Carcere, where legends say St. Nicholas was imprisoned, we will see the well-preserved remains of three Republican-era (i.e., pre-Imperial) temples.
