Catacomb of Sant'Ippolito, Archaeological burial site in Rome, Italy.
The Catacomb of Sant'Ippolito contains multiple subterranean passageways forming an extensive network of burial chambers carved into the stone walls.
This catacomb emerged during the second century when Roman law prohibited burials within city limits, leading Christians to create underground cemeteries.
The burial niches feature marble and clay gravestones inscribed with names and early Christian symbols, reflecting the community's religious practices.
The catacomb exists at coordinates 41°54'27.400N, 12°31'11.500E, making it accessible for visitors exploring Rome's archaeological heritage.
Unlike larger Roman catacombs, Sant'Ippolito maintains original architectural elements and burial methods from early Christian periods without modern alterations.
