Beneath the Basilica of Santa Maria della Sanità in Naples, the carefully restored Catacombs of San Gaudioso (Catacombe di San Gaudioso) offer a glimpse into the past. Dating back to the 5th century, these catacombs are more elaborate than those found in many other cities. Visitors can take a guided tour to explore the intricate frescoes, once adorned with skulls and various decorations. The tour also delves into the macabre stories that have become part of the site’s history, providing a unique and immersive experience.
