   Ancient Roman law prohibited the burial of the deceased inside the city walls, so they were built along the Appian Way, which was outside the walls. They are a network of passageways that can stretch for over 15 miles underground, so visiting them is only permitted with the aid of a catacomb guide provided by the site.

9. Stop 9 · 45m
