Catacombs of St. Callixtus
(Sights & Activities - Religious Sites)
Via Appia Antica 126
Rome 00179
06-5130151
Description:
Historical evidence for the Roman persecution that marked much of early Christianity, as this crypt is the burial site for numerous Christian martyrs. The catacombs are also an inspirational reminder of how Christianity has flourished in light of such a tumultuous beginning. The catacombs hail from the second century and were built outside the city, for Roman laws forbid burial within the precincts.
