The catacombs of San Sebastian dated from the early first century, surrounding the third century.

Beyond the legend, and imagination which can deliver this kind of places, the catacombs are underground cemeteries rather than Christians (most of the time) as a solution to the problem of burying the dead at the time, by provision, on the outskirts of the city. The lack of space, made the galleries dug in the rock underground Roman were a viable alternative.

The catacombs reach their maximum growth in the fourth century, to fall into oblivion the next century. Just a few hundred years ago are rediscovered and explored. Today, the city of Rome has more than 60 catacombs that stretch for miles of tunnel. Continue reading →
