Informazioni
Fatti rapidi: Più di 600 tombe dipinte del IV secolo formano questo complesso funerario paleocristiano. Gli affreschi rivelano scene bibliche e simboli cristiani in uno stato di conservazione impressionante.
Punti salienti: Nella Camera Funeraria di San Pietro e Paolo vedrai affreschi che brillano con colori ocra e rossi come se fossero stati dipinti ieri. Una delle tombe contiene la rappresentazione più antica conosciuta della Vergine Maria con il Bambino Gesù in tutta l'arte cristiana.
Consigli da insider
- Bring a light jacket even if it is hot outside, the underground temperature hovers around 15 degrees all year round.
- The tomb of Peter and Paul has the best-preserved frescoes; focus on that room if you have little time.
- Flash photography is prohibited, but with a modern phone in night mode you will get good pictures of the frescoes.
- First visit the interpretation center upstairs to understand the historical context before going down to the tombs.
