The guide was very kind and always gave us time to take some photos. Furthermore I liked the fact that with one ticket to one of the 2 catacombs you had the opportunity to visit the other one for free!Lidia

Molto interessante dal punto di vista culturale. Eccezionale la guida che ci ha illustrato la storia. Nn ricordo il nome ma era una ragazza che il 27 aprile alle 14,30 era nel gruppo 2. Davvero brava e competente. Avevamo 2ragazzini che nn si sono annoiati per nulla. Complimenti. Ottima organizzazione. CG di CataniaMartina

The wide corridors and open spaces reflect a distinctive design created to welcome pilgrims and worshippers.
San Gaudioso

Discover the fascinating mix of early Christian burial sites and 17th-century aristocratic traditions, including macabre paintings by Giovanni Balducci and skulls embedded in walls to commemorate the deceased.
