On this rare visit to the Basilica Neopitagorica, or Neopythagorean Basilica, you'll see inside the stunning underground basilica that was only discovered accidentally. Find out what the stucco decorations mean, how they built this monument (you won't believe it!), and why it was closed and buried as if to hide it from the world.
