Catacombs of Domitilla (Rome's Largest Catacomb)
282 Via delle Sette Chiese Roma
Martyrs and Mosaics: Rome's Largest Underground Cemetery
The Domitilla Catacomb, one of Rome's oldest and largest underground cemeteries, dates back to 120 A.D. and belonged to Flavia Domitilla.
This site uniquely features an underground basilica dedicated to martyrs Nereo, Achilleo, and Saint Petronilla, St. Peter's daughter. The Divine Word Missionaries oversee this sacred site.
The catacomb, developed between the 2nd and 3rd centuries, houses frescoes depicting early Christian faith, including the rare beheading of Achilleus and the Epiphany. Located along the ancient Via Ardeatina, it remains a vital historical and religious landmark.
