See where the martyrs of the persecution of Diocletian are buried in Rome

The two martyrs, St Marcellinus and St Peter were slain in the persecution of 304 AC and lost their heads – quite literally – in Rome. It gets worse. Before they were killed, they were forced to dig their own tomb, with their own hands.

Explore the gruesome history yourself when you enter the ancient catacombs, which span an area of 18,000 square meters. Your guide will lead you through this underground graveyard, which spans three levels and was excavated between the 3rd and 5th centuries AD. Roughly 20,000 and 25,000 people will be resting in peace around you, along with numerous martyrs of the persecution of Diocletian.

See the tombstones that cover the niches (known as loculi), and get a peek at early Christian inscriptions on the marble tombstones. A fascinating look into the history of Rome.

Luca Moretti 5/5

Una experiencia única e irrepetible. Sumergirse en la historia en las Catacumbas de los Santos Marcelino y Pedro es emocionante.

Francesca Bianchi 4/5

Intenso y misterioso viaje al pasado. Muy recomendable, aunque algunos pasillos pueden resultar un poco claustrofóbicos.

Giulia Rossi 3/5

Lugar lleno de historia, pero esperaba un poco más de información durante el recorido. Aún así, interesante visitar.
