Navona Underground: The Stadium of Domitian

Emperor Domitian built the Stadium of Domitian in 86 AD. The site now forms part of the UNESCO-listed Piazza Navona. It showcases the fusion of Greek athletic ideals and Roman engineering. Designers crafted the stadium for events like races and wrestling, providing seating for 30,000 spectators. Today, its remains are preserved as part of the Navona Underground experience.

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.
