The Rediscovery of the Catacombs of Rome

On May 31, 1578, the catacombs of Rome were accidentally rediscovered on the Via Salaria, an ancient Roman road in Northern Italy. A man named Antonio Bosio eventually discovered thirty separate entrances into these catacombs, which are several stories underground and served as a burial place for Christians as well as for Roman citizens of other faiths.

The catacombs are a fascinating part of Roman and early Christian history. Seeing them in person would be a true privilege.
