CATACOMBS OF ROME-CREEPY, BIZARRE, UNFORGETTABLE! (With Capuchin Bone Crypt)

It was not something I’ll ever forget. Our next stop was the Catacombs of San Callisto where up to a half a million bodies were buried because Christians at that time were being persecuted and could not be buried in regular cemeteries.
