Lonely Planet review for Catacombe di San Gennaro

The oldest and most famous of Naples’ ancient catacombs, the Catacombe di San Gennaro, date to the 2nd century. Spread over two levels and decorated with early Christian frescoes, they contain a mix of tombs, corridors and broad vestibules held up by columns and arches. They were an important pilgrimage site in the 5th century, when St Januarius’ body was brought here.
