Roman Catholic Church San Martino ai Monti

Our last day & night in Roma was fabulous.
Having said that, we got ripped off by a taxi driver. We needed to go 2 km and he charged 15 euro cash!
Our guided tour was firstly of the Capuchin Crypt where there are bones of 3,700 bodies of Capuchin Priors from 1500's to 1870. Quite eerie.
We were then bussed to the biggest of the 60 catacombs (tombs underneath Rome) where half a million bodies were entombed before Christianity became the religion of Rome. Walking through these narrow, dark and deep tombs was also quite confronting, however, we felt like we were transported back a few hundred years which was an incredible experience.
We then found our way to the Trevi Fountain, together with a few hundred other people. Still, it is impressive.
To finish our time in Roma, we ate at a hugely popular pasta restaurant down the road from our apartment. It opens at 7 pm and we had to wait in line for 40 mins to gain entry. Masimo, the owner since 2016 was the closest Italian to Basil in Fawlty Towers that we have come across. His restaurant is so popular, people are happy to wait for ages to get a table He waves his arms, yells and directs customers, but he is so much fun to watch!
Tomorrow, Naples for 3 nights.Läs mer
