Siracusa - Catacombs of San Giovanni

Adjoining the crypt are the Catacombs of San Giovanni, an extensive underground necropolis dating from the fourth to sixth century, dissected by a network of main and side roads at the junctions of some of which round areas have been laid out. At one of these areas archeologists found the Adelphia Sarcophagus, dating from c. 340 and today one of the major attractions in the Syracuse Archeological Museum.
