Lonely Planet review for Chiesa di San Nicola in Carcere
An innocuous-looking building on busy Via del Teatro Marcello, this 11th-century church harbours some fascinating Roman excavations. Beneath the main church you can poke around the claustrophobic foundations of three Republican-era temples, over which the church was built, and the remnants of an Etruscan vegetable market. Marble columns from the temples were incorporated into the church’s structure and are still visible today.
