Listen to the history of the catacombs: from their origin to their decline, and their rediscovery in the modern era. You will also learn how they were dug and administrated.
Going down, you will enter the crypt of the Popes of the 3rd century, where 5 of the 9 tombstones of the bishops of Rome who were buried here are still preserved. You will then admire a wonderful slab of marble where some famous verses of Pope Damasus were engraved.
Next, cross a narrow arch and enter the crypt where St. Cecilia, the patron saint of music was initially buried. Finally, but no less beautiful or interesting, visit the macabre chapel of bones with your audio guide and discover its history.
