Catacombs of St. Domitilla

	Map		Reviews

You are about to visit the best preserved section in one of the two most extensive catacombs in Rome: the Catacombs of St. Domitilla, as we know them, are spread over 15 kilometers of underground caves some of which are inaccessible - They are laid out on two levels - one on top of another and with a third level in two distinct areas.

The catacombs of the Eternal City offer one of the most complete and eloquent pictures of the Christian community in Imperial Rome, and of Catholicism in the city between the 3rd and 9th centuries. Until the 3rd century, in fact, the early Christians didn't have their own cemeteries but were buried alongside the pagans in communal burial grounds outside the city along the main consular roads. The Apostle Peter was buried on the Vatican hill and St. Paul along the road to Ostia.
