Naples - Catacombs of San Gennaro

The Corso Amedeo di Savoia in Naples ends at a roundabout, the Tondo di Capodimonte, on the west side of which is the entrance to the second century Catacombs of San Gennaro. Like the Roman catacombs, these consist of a maze of passages and tomb chambers, but are more ambitious architecturally and have finer paintings than their Roman counterparts. The church of San Gennaro extra Moenia dates from the fifth century (restored).
