Delve into the Secrets of the San Callisto Catacombs
The catacombs of San Callisto are part of the so-called Callistian complex, an area of about 30 hectares between the Via Appia Antica, the Via Ardeatina and the Via delle Sette Chiese, in Rome, which houses various funerary areas and catacombs
The catacombs arose towards the end of the 2nd century, with some private Christian hypogea and a funerary area directly dependent on the Roman church. They take their name from the deacon Callisto I, appointed by Pope Zephyrinus to administer the cemetery itself. Having in turn ascended the papal throne, Pope Callistus I enlarged the funerary complex, which soon became the official one of the Church.

Exploring the ancient pathways on e-bikes was a fantastic way to immerse ourselves in history while enjoying the fresh air. We loved gliding along tree-lined routes and soaking in the stunning scenery, especially while venturing into the San Callisto Catacombs, which had a fascinating atmosphere. However, we wished there had been a bit more time for some hands-on exploration at key sites. Our guide was knowledgeable and engaging, providing just the right amount of information without overwhelming us. Overall, it was a memorable adventure that combined exercise with an intriguing glimpse into the past.

Pedaling along the sun-drenched paths was exhilarating, and I found the contrast of the lush greenery against ancient ruins breathtaking. The highlight for me was venturing into the cool, shadowy depths of the San Callisto Catacombs, where the eerie silence added a layer of intrigue to the history I was absorbing. A couple of times, the e-bike could have used a bit more battery life, but overall, this adventure was a fantastic way to experience the rich heritage and tranquil beauty of the area.
