The catacombs feature a unique blend of Pharaonic, Greek, and Roman art, where you will explore burial chambers, intricate carvings, and the famous Hall of Caracalla.

The catacombs were originally built for a wealthy family that practiced a mixture of Egyptian, Greek, and Roman religions, before later becoming a burial site containing more than 300 mummies.
