À propos
Faits rapides: Les catacombes de Saint Callixte abritent les restes de 16 papes, constituant l’un des plus grands et importants sites chrétiens funéraires souterrains. Les visiteurs parcourent un labyrinthe de tunnels s’étendant sur plus de 20 kilomètres, révélant fresques et inscriptions antiques.
Points forts: Les visiteurs peuvent découvrir la Crypte des Papes, où les premiers dirigeants chrétiens furent enterrés en secret pour les protéger des persécutions romaines. Les couloirs frais et peu éclairés, bordés de crânes et d’os, offrent une atmosphère à la fois étrange et respectueuse rarement égalée ailleurs.
Conseils d'initiés
- Wear comfortable shoes as the terrain is uneven and the tour involves walking and some stooping.
- Photography is allowed but without flash to preserve the delicate paintings and artifacts.
- Arrive early to secure a spot in the English or other language tours for better understanding.
- Bring a light jacket; underground temperatures stay cool year-round, which might feel chilly especially in warmer months.
