Catacomb of San Zotico

The Catacomb of San Zotico features extensive underground tunnels with rectangular niches carved into walls for placing deceased members of the community.

This burial site emerged during the second century when Roman law prohibited burials within city limits, leading Christians to develop subterranean cemeteries.

The catacomb contains numerous marble and clay gravestones inscribed with names of the deceased and early Christian symbols representing their faith.

Located at coordinates 41.850465, 12.667922, this archaeological site requires advance booking and follows specific visiting schedules determined by local authorities.
