A catacomb is a man-made subterranean passageway that is used for religious practices. Any chamber that is used as a burial place is considered a catacomb, however, the word is most commonly used when referring to the Roman Empire. In ancient times, people in the area surrounding the Mediterranean Sea buried their dead inside these underground tunnels and rooms. They would cut out the tunnels from a layer of soft stone that was below the ground.
