Catacombs on the via Salaria in Rome
The Via Anapo catacombs are a set of catacombs on the via Salaria in Rome, first built in the 3rd-4th centuries and rich in wall paintings, inscriptions and sarcophagus fragments. They were discovered on 31 May 1578 when some workers digging for pozzolana witnessed a landslide, only for the complex to be lost in another landslide and rediscovered again in the early 20th century.
No bodies were found in it, probably since they had been translated to cemeteries during the 9th century. Soon after its rediscoveries it became a popular destination for pilgrims, scholars and Oratorians, the third of whom used the site to reinforce the Counter-Reformation Catholic position during the 16th century.
