Unfortunately cameras were not allowed in the catacombs. This is an amazing site that was stumbled across in the 1900s when a donkey fell into a pit. We descended 99 steps to the second level to walk in and out of the crypt rooms. The Egyptian carvings in the main burial chamber were amazing. The third level was filled with water so we couldn't go down there. In addition on the second level we had a number of places we had to walk on boards placed on stones to avoid the water.
Back on the surface we got to see another tomb that had amazing paintings in it. Very similar to what we had seen in Italy but much more vibrant colors.
