The Catacomb of Priscilla is the queen of the catacombs. Located on the Via Salaria in Rome, Italy, this creepy attraction is spread over two floors and probably takes its name from Priscilla of the senatorial family of Acili. Its origin is different from that of the other catacombs, in that it was once a sandstone quarry, and then abandoned.
Christians began to use the large and irregular tunnels that make up the first level of the catacomb, building niche tombs and digging hundreds of locules in the walls. Visitors can join a guide to explore the creepy underground network and learn about the martyrs buried here.
