The San Felice Cemetery in Rome: ISPRA's hypothesis on the funerary complex that disappeared in 1500

During a new study on the underground cavities of the Portuense district of Rome, ISPRA researchers have achieved access to an underground quarry that could be connected with the underground cemetery dedicated to the antipope San Felice II. The Cemetery, which was located on top of a hill, was an important pilgrimage destination until the end of the Middle Ages, to then disappear around 1500. The hypothesis is that it was subjected to landslides and sinking and that part of it is still found under the urban fabric of Rome.
