From IV century A.D. the hypogeum was arranged into a chapel for Christian cults and as such it was used until the XII century.History of research
The hypogeum of “Santa Maria in Stelle” is also known thanks to the Gaetano Cristofali’s drawings at the end of the eighteenth century. Restoration and maintenance works allowed its current use.
