Cemeteries and memorials to visit Italy

Located in the same neighbourhood as the catacombs, it is made up of three large cellars of tufa, where thousands of human skulls and bones are conserved, finally covered with land during the great plague which hit Naples in 1656. Two centuries later, these vaults will be reopened to the public. A strange cult, between Christianity and Idolatry, developed in many of the Neapolitan families.

In the heart of the Sanità district, a zone for burial in Greco-Roman times, these underground galleries will be expanded around the grave of San Gaudioso, persecuted by the Vandals. See frescoes of various ages, each representing and honouring a deceased.

At the foot of the Fiori mountain, this necropolis was in function from the 12th century BC to the 2nd century AD.
