Around half a million Christians, including martyrs and 16 popes like Pope Damasus, found their final resting place here.
The catacombs are named after Deacon St. Callixtus, whom Pope Zephyrinus put in charge of managing the cemetery in the early third century.

You created Maximus Kim, Spartacus Kim, and Flamma Kim for us. It was a wonderful time for the children to train and learn about Roman soldiers and gladiators. We had a lot of fun and enjoyed the fighting. This will be a very memorable time for the children.

What a great experience we had with our five and eight-year-old at the mosaic workshop. Nadia and her team were excellent to work with, and my kids had so much fun. It was three hours, but they completed a mosaic, (we are a family of 4 and one of us helped and the other participated too), as well as the teachers there. It was just a great experience.

Rome feels like one giant open-air museum—absolutely amazing! I managed to visit all the major tourist spots, and getting around was easy with the many hop-on hop-off buses available. Just make sure to wear comfortable shoes, because you’ll be doing a lot of walking!

My son and I had an amazing time with Leo as our chef. He was vwry knowledgeable, explained each step really well, and made everyone laugh along the way. Leo also swooped in to save the holes in my son's pasta, eliminating the frustration caused by making it too thin. Overall, the class was a fantastic (and delicious) experience!
