The most original feeling of the catacombs

This is a fabulous place to visit but it is also strange.

This is the best catacombs in this region. You can obviously only go with a guide, we had the luck that our tourguide spoke 3 languages and was good at answering questions perfectly even tho it was one of her first tours she gave! Bravo. You can easly get there with the bus 218 from central rome. It is not allowed to take pictures (which is only respektfull) you are guided arround the first two of 4 layers of the tombs and the uperlevels are richly decorated at some parts. If you have visitied domitilla, you might not need to go to the others as they are quiet the same.
