★ ★ ★ ★ ★ These ancient catacombs are a sacred Christian burial space with multiple types of graves. There is a lot of history within the cave walls and the outer section.
The tour cost €8,00 per person and starts every half hour. Which is also about the length of the actual tour. Some parts of the tour are a bit cramped when there is a big group.
The tours are in Italian as well as English. Although you'll have to listen very closely to the English one because it is with a thick accent and she talks very fast. You first get the Italian explanation and after that you get the English one. Sadly, the Italians in our group didn't care anymore after they heard their part and started talking through our translation.
You can't take pictures inside the catacombs but you can on the outside which you can see on our pictures.
I do recommend going here because it takes you back thousands of years and you learn a lot about Christian history. It is also very nice in the summer since the caves are very cool.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Highly recommend seeing this place for yourself. It's only 8 euros and in that price you get an Italian and English speaking guide. Only minor issue was rude Italians talking over when guide was talking English, but she was great and told them to zip it. ?? Oh and unlike some people please note: no photos inside the catacombs! ? Thank you to our guide she was great.
