The underground passages of the city of Narni constitute an unparalleled combination of fascination and mystery. A place where, beneath the city pavement, history has left numerous and very important traces in which to reread the entire past of this land, from the Roman cisterns to a splendid underground church, up to the graffiti made by those condemned by the Inquisition tribunal imprisoned here, not yet fully deciphered.
Narni Underground is a path that allows you to see the underground rooms of the ancient convent of San Domenico. The route begins in a church of the twelfth century, it discovered only 20 years ago, which contains frescoes of the oldest in the city. An opening in the wall will pass through a local Roman cistern, probably the rest of one of the houses, and soon after, along a long tunnel, you reach a large room, where interrogations took place for the Inquisition. A small cell, only one of its kind in Italy, with graffiti on the walls documenting the presence of indicted, one of them wanted to leave a message through a graphical code, not yet fully deciphered. The visit continues in the basement of the church of Santa Maria Impensole, where are preserved Roman structures with two tanks, above which a church was built in the eighth century, later used to construct above a Romanesque church. The path in “Narni Underground” ends within the Lacus, the largest early medieval cistern present in the fountain in Piazza Garibaldi, former Piazza del Lago.
