San Gennaro Catacombs Tour in Naples

About this experience

Journey into the depths of Italian history at the San Gennaro Catacombs, the resting place of Naples’ patron saint and other revered figures. Just meters beneath the bustling city lies a world of ancient tombs, tracing life and faith through the ages. A noble family first built these catacombs in the 2nd century AD and later expanded them to accommodate Naples' expanding Christian community. Marvel at the high vaulted ceilings, beautifully restored frescoes, and sacred tombs of Saint Agrippinus and Saint Januarius. Feel the reverence Italians hold for their dead as you descend into this fascinating, slightly eerie labyrinth—a captivating journey through thousands of years of history
