The name of the neighborhood, Trastevere, literally means Beyond the Tiber. In ancient times, it was home to Jews and freedmen, creating a vibrant community rich in history and culture. Today, Trastevere remains one of Romes most charming and historic neighborhoods, filled with narrow cobbled streets, hidden corners, and legends waiting to be discovered. This tour begins by exploring the unique curiosities of the area, taking visitors through its ancient lanes and uncovering stories that have shaped the neighborhood over centuries. The journey includes a visit to the basements of Santa Cecilia in Trastevere, where the remains of a Republican-era neighborhood are preserved among amphorae, mosaics, and the foundations of Roman domus, offering a rare glimpse into everyday life in ancient Rome.

The adventure continues to the basements of San Nicola in Carcere, one of the earliest Christian churches, where the layers of history reveal the remains of three pagan temples beneath the church. Crossing the Tiber River, the tour reaches the enchanting Tiber Island, a site historically dedicated to medicine. Here, visitors can see the remnants of an ancient ship and learn about the origins of the Fate Bene Fratelli hospital, which still stands today. This experience blends archaeology, history, and legend, making it accessible and engaging for everyone while offering a deep and memorable insight into one of Romes most fascinating neighborhoods.
