概要

クイックファクト: The Catacombs of San Callisto hold the remains of 16 popes, making it one of the largest and most important Christian burial sites underground. Visitors navigate a maze of tunnels stretching over 20 kilometers, revealing ancient frescoes and inscriptions.

見どころ: Visitors can discover the Crypt of the Popes, where early Christian leaders were buried in secret to protect them from Roman persecution. The cool, dimly lit corridors lined with skulls and bones offer an eerie yet reverent atmosphere few other sites achieve.

インサイダーヒント

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.
