This is a social project, sustained by people who love Naples. I am shocked that these amazing catacombs are not receiving more financial support for their restoration. They are certainly worthy of UNESCO protection. Unique and fascinating, I hope to go again when there is more excavation and restoration. Go visit, support people to continue this project, protect it, and fight for this amazing cultural miracle.
It is a place worth visiting, an interesting activity to explore the origins of Naples City, from which you can see some public facilities in the ancient Roman period, very mysterious, and a great project to explore the history of Naples and the underground world!
The San Genero catacombs, located in the old town of Naples, are more than a dozen centuries ago, are the tombs of Naples Christian history, down to the tomb can see a hall and several trails, the tomb walls painted with ancient murals.
The catacombs were built in the 2nd century, unlike Rome's dark and gloomy, small tombs like doghouses. Overall, they seem pretty good.
