Catacombs of St. Callixtus Highlights: Must-See Features and Attractions
Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
About 30 catacombs remain along the Appian Way, and San Callisto is one of the larger and more important ones. It is said that after the recognition of Christianity, the underground cemetery began to expand, and this area alone extends for 500 kilometers. The frescoes and decorations inside are indispensable when it comes to early Christian art. It is said that there are 5 floors underground, more than 20 meters long, and about 100,000 people are buried here. The whole picture is not very clear at present, so it is forbidden to enter without a guide during the visit. Wait in front of the English-French-Italian signboard in front of the entrance. After reaching a certain number of people, you will be guided by a tour guide. Inside there is a "Sacrament Room" with frescoes from the 3rd century. There are also the Pope's tomb from the 3rd century and the tomb of St. Cecilia.

Saint Catisto's underground cemetery feels very mysterious and deep. The cemetery is not very big. It takes about forty minutes to visit. Photographs are not allowed here, but you can take pictures secretly. This scenic spot is far from the city and is worth visiting.
There is no photography here. A commentator introduced the situation at that time. Christians can't be cremated, because when the body and soul come back to life again, they can find a hole here and bury it deeply. It's like a labyrinth, so don't visit it timidly. It's gloomy.
It is recommended that we have a good experience of history and one of the important bases for the study of Christian history and culture in the early 2nd and 4th centuries.
It is a good place to explore history and one of the important bases for the study of Christian history and culture in the early 2nd and 4th centuries.
San Carlisto's underground cemetery is a good place to explore history. Tourist groups come back here and spend some time here, if not in a tight time.
