Just outside the ancient walls of Siracusa, near the Archaeological Park Neapolis and the impressive Madonna delle Lacrime’s Sanctuary, stands the amazing Basilica named to San Giovanni Evangelista. It is a stunning open air church with subterranean treasures: the painted San Marciano Crypt and the San Giovanni Catacombs. Catacombs’ underground tunnels are so secretive and fascinating, are carved exactly into the limestone rocks and create a sacred labyrinth ruled by silence. It is an essential place to visit and to enjoy an intriguing and exciting experience back in the past of Siracusa.
An underground path will lead you to discover the largest catacombs in Siracusa, the second largest in the world after Roman ones. An extraordinary place of worship rich in beauties and history. Through its large galleries you will feel and experience a climate full of sacredness, and you will discover the secret of life beyond death, surrounded by the peacefulness of a millennial-sleep.
Are guaranteed guided tours all year, and during summertive very suggestive night tours and night shows.
