St Agathas Crypt & Catacombs

TIME : 2016/2/18 22:43:10

These catacombs contain a series of remarkable frescoes dating from the 12th to 15th centuries. According to legend, this was the hiding place of St Agatha when she fled Sicily. Back at ground level is a quirky little museum containing everything from fossils and minerals to coins, church vestments and Etruscan, Roman and Egyptian artefacts. Regular tours are available of the crypt and catacombs.
