The Catacombs

Tucked under the city wall, the catacombs were built to accommodate 1,400 coffins in individual vaults on each side of a long, central passage. Although coffins were lowered from above to their resting place, a fine Egyptian façade was built along the front with entrances for the bereaved to enter to attend an interment. The coffin was slid into a brick-lined vault while the officiating priest would conduct the service. Nearby, in a small, walled-off area was a bricklayer who would wait for the end of the service, when he would then brick up the entrance. A brass plaque, or in some cases, a square stone with details of the deceased would be fixed to the bricks.
