Vigna Randanini

The underground cemetery complex extends through 700 meters of galleries across two levels, containing numerous burial chambers and decorated funeral spaces.

Discovered in 1859, these catacombs from the third and fourth centuries contain thousands of burial sites with inscriptions in Latin and Greek languages.

The burial chambers feature traditional Jewish symbols including menorahs and arks of the law, along with frescoes depicting animals and floral patterns.

Tours are limited to groups of twelve people on the first Monday of each month, requiring advance reservations through the official booking system.

The complex includes specific burial configurations called Kôchim, which are multi-story tomb chambers arranged perpendicular to the corridor walls.
