Para muchos visitantes de Roma, un viaje a las catacumbas es una de las partes más conmovedoras y memorables de sus vacaciones. Si bien una visita a la Vía Apia vale la pena en sí misma – mientras caminas por los antiguos adoquines pasando por vastas lápidas y un espectacular campo te sientes como si te hubieran transportado en el tiempo – un recorrido por las catacumbas es sin duda el principal punto culminante. Aventúrese profundamente bajo tierra en un recorrido privado para explorar los increíbles túneles que fueron excavados a mano hace casi 2.000 años y aprender todo sobre los inicios del cristianismo. Este es un lado de Roma que nunca antes habías visto.
The word “cemetery” comes from an Ancient Greek word which meant “place of rest”. The catacombs of Rome provided a resting place for the first generations of Christians, awaiting their resurrection and salvation in their tombs, deep beneath the ground on the outskirts of Rome. From martyrs to farmers, hundreds of thousands of early Christians ended up in the catacombs, buried close together in a maze of underground tunnels beside the Appian Way. The catacombs are so extensive that you could easily get lost and never find your way out again – a good reason to go with a tour guide! For many visitors to Rome, a trip to the catacombs is one of the most moving and memorable parts of their holiday. While a visit to the Appian Way is worthwhile in itself – as you walk along the ancient cobblestones past vast tombstones and spectacular countryside you feel as though you’ve been transported back in time – a tour of the catacombs is undoubtedly the main highlight. Venture deep underground to explore the incredible tunnels that were dug out by hand nearly 2,000 years ago and learn all about the very beginning of Christianity. This is a side of Rome you’ve never seen before. The catacombs of the Appian Way are essentially the underground graveyards of the first Christians in Rome, who had to bury their dead outside of the city. Even as early as the 5th century BC, burials within the city walls were forbidden, so tombs were built on the outskirts of Rome. As an important consular road connecting Rome with the south, the Appian Way was a popular spot for burials. While many Romans built elaborate tombs by the roadside, the Christians buried their dead in labyrinthine catacombs. Miles of underground tunnels were built by digging through the soft tufa stone, providing burial space for saints and martyrs as well as countless ordinary Christians.
