Lonely Planet review for Catacombe di Priscilla

Stretching for some 13km, these creepy catacombs boast the oldest known image of the Madonna, dated at early 2nd century. Something of high-society burial ground – several popes were buried here between 309 and 555 – they retain quite a lot of their original decoration. Particularly impressive is the Cappella Greca funerary chapel with its fine stucco decoration and some well-preserved late-3rd-century biblical frescoes.
