The project “LIT! Reception of catacomb art in European culture and architecture between the 19th and 20th century“ (2020-2023) collects and analyses cases of buildings inspired by early-Christian catacombs worldwide from mid-nineteenth to mid-twentieth century. The project focusses especially on their role on national and international culture, combining archaeological research with art, architecture, heritage history.

This website provides access to the catalogue generated by the project through a map with the worldwide geolocation of places with buildings designed and decorated like a catacomb. It also offers a wider panorama on sources, and supplement bibliographic material.
