Catacomb of Commodilla, Ancient burial network at Via delle Sette Chiese, Rome, Italy.
The underground passages of the Catacomb of Commodilla contain multiple burial chambers connected through narrow tunnels carved into volcanic rock formations.
This catacomb emerged during the third century CE as Christians sought alternative burial sites outside Rome's city walls due to space limitations.
The burial site features numerous early Christian frescoes depicting biblical scenes and religious symbols, marking the transition from pagan to Christian customs.
Visitors need to schedule appointments through the Pontifical Commission of Sacred Archaeology by calling +39 064465610 or emailing protocollo@arcsacra.va.
The walls contain one of the earliest known artistic representations of Christ with a beard, dating from the fourth century CE.
