This first church was damaged by floods and plundering by the Norman troops of Robert Guiscard so a second basilica was built over the first one at the beginning of the Xll century and later refurbished in the XVl &#8211; XVll and XlX centuries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the 1980s during renovations at the lower level, mosaic floors from the second century AD were discovered, as well as a third century AD insula, a block of flats on several floors. Furthermore, at the end of the last century, a baptismal font four metres in diameter and a second similar basin were found under a side chapel in the right nave.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On leaving the church we will walk past <strong>piazza Montecitorio<\/strong> and admire the fine <strong>obelisk<\/strong> formerly indicator in the sun dial built by the <strong>Emperor Augustus<\/strong> and continue on to the <strong>Trevi Fountain<\/strong>. There, underneath the former Trevi cinema recent excavations (1998-2001) have yielded important discoveries, including a <strong>domus from the age of Nero<\/strong> (64-68 AD) and one of the <strong>water castles of the Virgin Water<\/strong> <strong>acqueduct<\/strong> which still today supplies the Trevi Fountain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Last but not least we will head for the famous Rinascente department store, not to shop for luxury goods but to view the original <strong>arches of the Virgin acqueduct<\/strong> uncovered during maintenance work in 2017. We will see 15 arches in perfect condition and a light show on the Roman brickwork will reveal the former vast residential district in this area.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":17717,"template":"","format":"standard","tipi-di-tour":[79],"class_list":["post-14216","visite-guidate-roma","type-visite-guidate-roma","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","tipi-di-tour-underground-rome-tours"],"meta_box":{"visita_include":"The underground of Campo Marzio","punto_di_incontro":"","durata":["3h"],"partecipanti":["Visita individuale","Visita di gruppo"],"skip_the_line":"No","auricolari":"Si"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/guideaurearoma.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/visite-guidate-roma\/14216","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/guideaurearoma.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/visite-guidate-roma"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/guideaurearoma.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/visite-guidate-roma"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/guideaurearoma.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/17717"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/guideaurearoma.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=14216"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"tipi-di-tour","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/guideaurearoma.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tipi-di-tour?post=14216"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
