Facts and practical information

The catacombs of Sant'Antioco are an archaeological site located in the Sardinian municipality of Sant'Antioco. The necropolis is one of the oldest evidence of Christianity in Sardinia. The site was carved out by connecting Punic burial chambers from the 5th century BC so that the first members of the newly formed Christian community could be buried as close as possible to the tomb of Sant'Antioco.
