The Neronian Cryptoportico is an underground architectural structure located in the Palatine Hill in Rome. It was built during the reign of Emperor Nero in the 1st century AD and has distinct characteristics of Roman architecture. The cryptoportico consists of a series of vaulted galleries that served as support for Nero's Golden Palace, which stood above. The Neronian Cryptoportico is notable for its complex engineering and construction. The galleries are formed by arches and columns that support the brick vaults. Originally, the structure extended over a large area, covering the gardens and courtyards of Nero's palace. Although the exact function of the Neronian Cryptoportico is uncertain, it is believed to have been used for ceremonial purposes or as an entertainment and leisure space for the imperial family. Today, visitors can explore the ruins of the cryptoportico, appreciating the architecture and history of the site. It is a fascinating window into palace life in the Roman period and offers a unique insight into the grandeur and ingenuity of ancient Roman civilization.

Amazing experience, takes you down 139 steps into this huge cavernous space that gets incredibly narrow to the point where you have to take your bag off your back and clutch it to your chest! Therefore, avoid if you don't like tight spaces. However, it was breathtaking and easily the best value-for-money thing you can do!
