Visit a 13th-century underground church dedicated to Archangel Michael, featuring a multimedia presentation that tells the story of the site’s evolution and the reasons for its disappearance. In the adjoining rooms, admire the remains of the ancient Roman aqueduct and discover how they were uncovered during archaeological excavations.

Continue into the former cells of the Holy Inquisition, where original graffiti and documented testimonies reveal the stories of prisoners and the harsh conditions of the time. The experience concludes in the upper church, once the city’s first cathedral, enriched with Byzantine mosaics, frescoes, and precious historical relics. This tour combines discovery, mystery, and fascination, offering a complete immersion into ancient Narni.
