Case romane del Celio, Underground archaeological museum in Celio district, Rome, Italy

The Case Romane del Celio contains twenty ancient rooms beneath the Basilica of Saints John and Paul, featuring Roman domestic architecture and decorative elements.

The complex evolved from second-century elite residences to a third-century apartment block before becoming the residence of martyrs John and Paul in the fourth century.

The rooms display an extensive collection of Roman frescoes depicting both pagan and early Christian imagery, illustrating the transition between religious beliefs in ancient Rome.

Located near the Colosseum on Clivo di Scauro, the museum opens from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM every day except Tuesdays and Thursdays.

The site preserves multiple layers of Roman residential history, including an original Roman street, shops, private chambers, and a medieval oratory with burial spaces.
