The Journey
Catacombs of Callixtus
Descend into the Catacombs of Callixtus, Rome's largest and one of its most important early Christian burial sites. Dating back to the 3rd century AD, these extensive underground tunnels served as the official cemetery of the Church of Rome, holding the remains of approximately half a million Christians, including numerous martyrs and 16 popes.
