Indianapolis Catacombs, Underground passages from 1886 beneath City Market in Indianapolis, United States.
The Indianapolis Catacombs contain 20,000 square feet of brick-lined passageways with limestone columns and arched ceilings beneath the downtown streets.
The underground network originated as part of Tomlinson Hall, a public auditorium that hosted civic events until its destruction by fire in 1958.
Indiana Landmarks organizes educational tours through these passages, revealing the architectural and commercial evolution of 19th-century Indianapolis.
All visits to the Indianapolis Catacombs are suspended during 2024 and 2025 due to planned construction work at the City Market site.
The underground chambers feature original storage pits that merchants used for keeping ice and perishable goods from the market above ground.
