The Sousse Catacombs spread over 5 km and were built underground around the end of the 1st Century by Christians to bury their dead at the time of the persecution. There are no less than 15,000 burial places. These catacombs were not only a secret graveyard but also a shelter and place of worship for Christians up until the end of the 4th Century. They are well-maintained but minimally accessible to the public. It's best to do some research online about this amazing place before coming as there is not much English translation available once you get there.
