Visiting the Catacombs of Rome is a truly fascinating experience.
Discover the history behind the early Christians who lived in a mainly
Pagan society where Christianity was considered "a strange and illegal
superstition". Learn why cremation was practiced regularly by the
Romans; and why burial within the city walls was outlawed. You will
find out why Christians started to construct underground cemeteries
outside the city walls in the 2nd century. Come travel the "queen of
roads" along the Appian Way to set your eyes upon the infamous Catacombs
of Rome. You will observe first hand the use of secret symbols
ostracized Christians devised to practice their faith. Venture up to
65 feet below the Earth's surface to feel history come alive!
