Catacombs of Rome
The Catacombs of Rome are an extensive network of underground burial galleries and chambers used from the 2nd century AD onward for Christian, Jewish and pagan burials. They consist of miles of carved passages, family cubicula, arcosolia and larger burial chambers, several of which are open to visitors today. The complex preserves early wall-paintings, inscriptions and carved sarcophagi from Late Antiquity.

Partial ruin
As it stood in AD 350
The shape it held in its prime.
A subterranean labyrinth of low, barrel‑vaulted tunnels cut in pale volcanic tufa, lined with rows of rectangular loculi and occasional arched arcosolia; intermittent larger chambers have stone benches and sarcophagi. Walls carry patchy frescoes and painted inscriptions in ochre, red and black pigments; surfaces are smoothed where quarried, with tool marks and occasional rubble-filled niches. Scale is human‑height passages and chambered galleries extending in linear runs beneath fields and Roman roads.
