The Catacombs of Commodilla are developed on three levels, the second of which is the oldest and most interesting from an archaeological point of view as the martyrs found their burial in an underground basilica.
The interesting fact is that if on the surface there is no monument that can be considered connected with these catacombs.
The Catacombs of Commodilla were probably built around the middle of the 4th century AD but its use for the burial of the dead soon ended…
The interesting fact of the Catacombs of Generosa is that not only Christian but above all pagan traces have been found in them (as in the so-called “Boschetto Sacro alla Magliana” where you can see details attributable to the pagan college of the Fratres Aevales). The Catacombs are on one level only and its entrance was closed by a basilica that has now disappeared. It is assumed that it remained in use until the end of 500 AD.
The Catacombs of San Pancrazio (also called Catacombs of Ottavilla) are located in Piazza San Pancrazio in the Gianicolense district. Unfortunately, the Catacombs of San Pancrazio have not passed the years unscathed and, therefore, are in very poor conservation conditions. Most likely it is also for this reason that the Catacombs of San Pancrazio can only be visited by reservation and by very small groups of visitors at a time.
The Catacombs of San Callisto are the most important and renowned catacombs in Rome. Of particular interest in the catacombs of San Callisto is the crypt of the Popes, which houses eight Popes of the past, but also the tomb of Santa Cecilia, the cubicles of the Sacraments, and other areas where other Popes were buried (in total 16 throughout the structure), are places that you will love to visit and admire.
