Art And History In The Heart Of Monteverde

Christie's International Real Estate - Rome Exclusive is pleased to offer the sale of suggestive premises in the Monteverde area, a few steps from Trastevere Station. The premises, located in ancient tuff quarries, appear as caves and represent a unique example of speleological archaeology and underground architecture.

Currently, their sale presents itself as a unique opportunity in the field of innovative design and sustainable architecture. The property, with three accesses above street level and spread over two internal levels, is distinguished by large arched portals that highlight its architectural importance, as well as careful lighting that enhances the characteristics of the cavities, creating a suggestive and welcoming atmosphere. The rough stone walls integrate harmoniously with the ancient walls, while the helicoptered concrete flooring and white concrete ceilings contribute to creating an atmosphere of simple and authentic beauty, which conveys a strong sense of history and authenticity. In ancient times, these caves were used for the extraction of lion tuff, a material that contributed to the construction of monuments, palaces and streets of Rome, making this property a true witness to the urban history of the city.


The natural setting blends with the steel-clad concrete pillars that support the structures above. Thanks to the possibility of customization and its current use as an artisan workshop, this property lends itself both as an exclusive space for events or exhibitions open to the public, and as a commercial activity, with the potential for historical and cultural enhancement. The rooms that extend over 554 square meters are naturally cool and have a powerful ventilation system that ensures perfect air exchange. The rooms, privately owned and known since the 2nd century BC, were acquired at auction in the early 2000s.


Furthermore, the location in Via Giano Parrasio guarantees easy access to the main services and attractions of Rome, while maintaining the charm of an isolated place rich in history. This property represents a unique investment of its kind, capable of combining past and present in a context of great historical, artistic, engineering and architectural value.
