  • On this rare visit to the Basilica Neopitagorica, or Neopythagorean Basilica, you'll see inside the stunning underground basilica that was only discovered accidentally. Find out what the stucco decorations mean, how they built this monument (you won't believe it!), and why it was closed and buried as if to hide it from the world.

    Wow Elyssa you have done it again, another great video and insight in to another new place for us to learn about when we return to Rome, To see everything you have told us about we need to come to Rome for a month never mind a few days. Your knowledge and perfect way of telling us about these magnificent places is second to none. Thank you so much

I really want to visit Villa Adriana and Villa d'Este while we are there. Just wondering if you could do a video about how to get there by public transport and information about booking tickets.

    We were looking for entrance to this basilica in small square (approx where you stayed) but we haven't found it. It is keep secret?

    • @Romewise
      @Romewise  Před 3 měsíci

      Well the basilica is almost never open, so that may be why you don't see the entrance. But if you stand in front of Porta Maggiore where the baker's tomb is, with the tomb to your back, the entrance to this basilica is to your left and across the street. Please see my note in the description that it IS open for visits on Fridays through April. So maybe you can go if you are here then!

      @Romewise  Před 3 měsíci

      I understand! Even living here, it's been very difficult to see. It was only opened briefly in 2015 and 2016, then closed and then open for 3 days in January 2024. Even then it was sold out and I just kept the page open and kept refreshing it and one day, 7 tickets were finally available! I was so grateful! I hope they'll open it again and I hope you get to see it!
