The Catacombs of Saint Sebastian

Romans originally used the Catacomb of San Sebastiano as a pozzolana quarry, calling it ad catacumbas. Early Christians transformed it into a burial site in the 1st century. Over time, architects expanded the site, adding columbaria, villas, and mausoleums. In the 4th century, Emperor Constantine constructed a basilica above the catacombs. This basilica sheltered the tombs of martyrs Sebastian and Eutichio. This transformation established the site as a sacred place.
