The catacombs were a system of underground passageways used for religious practice with cambers for burials built by the Christians in the 2nd and 3rd centuries AD. The term was originally used specifically for the burial and religious systems built in the Roman Empire. Later its meaning was widened to include medieval catacombs.

The term used for the pagan underground cemeteries of antiquity is necropolis.
