Hiking

The cellars of St. Peter's Basilica, also called the Vatican Caves, are an underground complex of passageways, chapels and tombs beneath the basilica. Many popes and other important figures from the history of the Catholic Church are buried here1. You can also see the remains of the old St. Peter's Basilica, which stood on the same site between the 4th and 16th centuries.
