The Velabro tour is a journey through time that starts from about 3000 years ago and unravels years of history up until the last century, visiting the places and stories that marked the creation of Rome together with monuments and legends that still remain unknown to most people. A small part of the city that hides an amazing concentration of beauty, history and myth, lived in the shadow of the renowned Bocca della Verità for many years. We will discover many local traditions, as well as some sayings that are still used today; formulas for good luck that the more daring can even try to invoke to tempt fate. Churches, arches and ancient temples await us to reveal their precious stories and timeless secrets. Starting from Piazza Bocca della Verità, we will begin our journey from the legendary mask, which was once a wellhead, and discover together why it is still feared so much today. We will continue to discover the great four-sided arch known as the Arch of Janus, which will introduce us to the thousand-year-old church of San Giorgio in Velabro, next to which the highly decorated Arch of the Argentari will reveal its mysteries. We will walk along Via di San Giovanni Decollato and its church, until we reach Piazza della Consolazione, where the Tarpeian Rock awaits. Our tour will continue to the sacred area of S.Omobono (where we will discover a particularly used but vulgar saying!), then we will move on to the Church of San Nicola in Carcere, whose structure is imprisoned among the ruins of three different Roman temples. Here, our tour will end where it also began, closing the circle in Piazza Bocca della Verità, to observe the Foro Olitorio and the Foro Boario, with their temples incredibly well preserved until today.
