Catacombs of St. Sebastian

The Catacombs of St. Sebastian are ancient underground burial sites in Rome, dating back to early Christian times. Carved from soft volcanic rock, these tunnels and chambers served as resting places for early Christians and martyrs. They include tombs, crypts, and underground galleries decorated with frescoes and inscriptions, offering insight into early Christian art and burial practices. The site provides a glimpse into the history of Christianity's growth and perseverance in its early centuries, and it's part of the broader network of Roman catacombs that served as sacred cemeteries during times of persecution.
