This former christian catacomb has some pretty wonderful frescoes. You'll know it by the tree outside with hungreds of objects hanging on it, set there by people whishing for their disease or ailment to be cured, as apparently the tree has magical powers.

Look for the festonned pistachio tree, and there you will find the amazing sight of the catacombs, older than the roman walls! You can see they have had different uses over the years and the frescoes and graffiti really tell a tale.
