Catacombs of Domitilla

The Catacombs of Domitilla stand out as some of the best preserved in Rome. Unlike many other catacombs in the city, these still contain original bones, providing a unique glimpse into ancient burial practices.

Subterranean Basilica and Restoration

Visitors to the Catacombs of Domitilla can also explore an underground basilica. This quiet, atmospheric space was largely rebuilt in 1870, but still reflects the architecture and purpose of early Christian worship sites. The combination of burial tunnels and places of worship sets these catacombs apart, offering insight into the religious and social life of ancient Romans.
