Ancient burial galleries: Walk through an extensive network of tunnels and chambers used by Christian communities between the 2nd and 5th centuries.

Underground basilica: Visit the Basilica of Saints Nereus and Achilleus, a rare subterranean church built within the catacombs.

Early Christian frescoes: Discover ancient paintings and symbols that offer insight into the beliefs and daily lives of Rome’s earliest Christians.

Expert-guided visit: Learn about the catacombs’ history, architecture, and religious significance from your guide in your selected language.
