The Catacombs of Domitilla Rome: Entry Ticket + Guided Tour

This was an important pilgrimage site throughout the Middle Ages, named after the Domitilla family who initially ordered them to be dug. Find out how the discoveries from the Catacombs of Domitilla have sparked controversy over the role of women in the Church, and also how they've helped scholars re-examine the importance of the Virgin Mary in early Christian history.
