Believe it or not, here not going to write about the rivers of Babylon. Instead, we’re going to share with you an attraction in Europe that some people have seen, but one where we also get the feeling that many more have not. Perhaps its the subject matter. Perhaps its that most of the attraction is underground. Who knows? But it’s certainly one of those activities that is a must see. No bones about it. Yes, we’re discussing the catacombs. But here’s the twist. These catacombs are in Naples, rather than Paris. Did you even know that they existed? We didn’t. Have a look at this . . .
Explore one of the largest catacombs in Naples on this 1-hour guided tour. The San Gaudioso catacomb lies under the Basilica of Santa Maria della Sanità (St. Mary of Health), at the heart of the district, and inside this cemetery, early Christian and 17th-century elements coexist.
On this tour, you get the chance to admire these early Christian elements, such as the tomb of San Gaudioso, frescoes, and mosaics of the 5th and 6th centuries. At the same time, you’ll see special burials reserved for the aristocracy and the clergy, dating back to the 17th century, when the catacombs resumed their function as the sepulchral site. Discover the special process behind the burials of nobles and members of the clergy.
