Catacombe di San Callisto

Travelers will enter the Catacombe di San Callisto and descend deep underground into a vast labyrinth of narrow corridors carved into volcanic rock. Inside, they will walk through ancient passageways lined with original burial niches (loculi) where early Christians laid their dead nearly 2,000 years ago. During the guided visit, travelers will explore underground galleries and chambers used exclusively for Christian burials between the 2nd and 4th centuries. They will see tombs of early martyrs and popes, learning how these sacred spaces were organized and why the catacombs played such an important role in early Christian Rome.
