Experience Italy's best-kept secrets at these 6 hidden gems in Rome - SilverKris

"An unusual 2,000-year-old Egyptian-style tomb rising about 36 metres at a busy junction near Porta San Paolo in the Ostiense quarter, notable for its interior frescoed burial chambers and its association with Gaius Cestius of the Epulones religious corporation. The site offers a distinctly cinematic, Indiana-Jones-like experience for visitors; note that access to the interior has been subject to closures, so check reopening dates before planning a visit." - SilverKris
