What you can expect

  • Travel back in time and explore the Catacombs of San Gennaro to learn more about the patron saint of Naples. Discover what lies beneath street level as you see stunning frescoes and Byzantine paintings from the 9th to the 10th century AD.

    Discover the fascinating history of the paleo-Christian burial site with your guide. Find out more about its 4th-century expansion following the transfer of the remains of St. Agrippinus to the underground basilica dedicated to him.

    See the baptismal font commissioned by Bishop Paul II, who took refuge in the catacombs in the 8th century during iconoclastic struggles. Admire the details of the upper catacomb, decorated in the 3rd century in the so-called Pompeian style, and now home to some of the earliest Christian paintings.

    Be amazed by the Crypt of the Bishops and its 5th-century mosaics, including one depicting the Bishop of Carthage, St. Quodvultdeus. After your tour, receive an entry pass to the Catacombs of San Gaudioso and the Basilica di Santa Maria della Sanità, which you can explore later.
