Catacombs of Milos, Early Christian burial site in Milos, Greece.
The catacombs contain three primary galleries that extend for 183 meters underground, featuring 291 tombs carved into volcanic rock.
Established between the 1st and 5th centuries AD, these underground chambers initially served as burial grounds before becoming places of worship during Roman persecution.
The walls display early Christian symbols, including the Monogram of Christ and ΙΧΘΥΣ inscriptions, along with spaces for ceremonial lamps and offerings.
Access to the catacombs is limited to specific sections, including the Chamber of the Presbyters and the main area of section A.
Archaeological evidence suggests that many of the first Christian converts in Milos came from the local Jewish community following Saint Paul's shipwreck nearby.
