    The third century  A D. catacomb consists of burial sites, then transformed into areas of worship; in recent times the catacomb was used as a bomb shelter.

    Over the centuries the creation of the basilica and of the church of the tomb of St. Lucia, as well as the following modifications, have changed the original structure of the cemetery.

    Today, because of the difficult conditions of the underground complex, only part of the catacombs are accessible.
