Santa Maria Maggiore - the crypt |
|
|
On our visit, the entrance to the crypt was
open, so we wandered in and had a look round. Eventually a tour guide
shooed us out, as it is only possible to visit the crypt, it seems,
by paying for an (expensive) guided walking tour. Unfortunately we
had to go before seeing the remains of the Roman Villa incorporated in the
crypt. This has some remarkable Roman frescos - the picture at the
bottom of the page was not taken by me. The pillars and capitals in the crypt have been reused from a Roman building. |
