Catacombe di San Gennaro (Catacombs of San Gennaro) in Naples are one of the most significant and fascinating historical sites in the city.
The catacombs are ancient burial grounds dating back to the 2nd century AD. They were used primarily during the early Christian period as a place for interment and worship.
The catacombs are named after San Gennaro (St. Januarius), the patron saint of Naples. His relics are said to be housed here, and the site is an important pilgrimage destination.
