Discover the immense underground cemetery excavated by the Christians of Rome in the first centuries after Christ!

The catacombs of St. Callixtus are among the greatest and most important of Rome. They preserve the crypt of the Popes from the III century. A.D. with a beautiful Damasian tombstone, the crypt of Saint Cecilia, patron saint of sacred music, and the cubicles "of the sacraments" with the most ancient Christian frescoes found in Rome.

Today the catacombs are guarded by the Salesians of Don Bosco and are still one of the city's top attractions. Let the competent and well-prepared staff guide you through this underground labyrinth. Find out more about the place's unique history from introductory panels, and then meet your guide, who will accompany you and show you the underground route.
