Catacombe di San Gennaro - Naples, Italy

This catacomb is a mix of tombs, corridors and vestibules. It dates back to the 2nd century. Very different from Rome’s dark and claustrophobic catacombs, it is decorated with early Christian frescoes and mosaics. The catacomb gets its name from the general speculation that San Gennaro was buried here.
