Step back into ancient times and discover the tombs of the most revered saints and nobles. A guided tour to the Catacombs of San Gennaro gives you access to the remains of the local patron saint and gives you a fascinating glimpse into life in Italy at different historical moments.

Travel in a thousand-year-old past just a few meters below the busy streets of modern Naples!

Italian society has always brought great respect to its dead, which you will clearly perceive as you descend below the road surface to reach these tombs. The oldest sections date back to the second century AD and were originally built by a local noble family. They were then expanded to accommodate the growing Christian community.

Many important personalities of Christianity are buried here, including Sant'Agrippino and San Gennaro, the well-known patron saint of Naples. With high vaulted ceilings and carefully restored frescoes, these catacombs allow you to experience a fascinating adventure into the past (perhaps even a little disturbing, but not too much).
