Hidden underground in Rome's outskirts, the second-century Catacombs of Rome (Catacombe di Roma) are some of the world's oldest burial tunnels, dating from around the 2nd to 5th centuries. The history-filled underground tunnels include early Christian symbols, often in the form of frescoes and sculptures. The Catacombs of Priscilla contain the oldest known depiction of the Virgin Mary, while the bone-adorned Capuchin Crypt houses a piece by Renaissance painter Caravaggio.
