From the official website: An experience accessible to all The Catacombs of San Gennaro are the only site of their kind in the world that is fully accessible. In 2009 a decision was made, together with the Tutti a Scuola association, to remove all the architectural barriers and to create walkways and ramps, so that the site could be accessible to everyone.
