Catacombs of Milos

The Catacombs of Milos are an ancient underground Christian cemetery located on the island of Milos in the Cyclades dating to the 1st-5th century AD [1]. The catacombs are found near the modern settlement of Trypiti, next to the site of the agora of the ancient city of Melos and 200 m to the east of the ancient theatre [1]. The galleries are of differing widths, ranging from 1 to 5 metres in width and from 1.6 to 2.5 metres in height [1]. In addition to the tombs cut into the walls, there are also many graves cut into the ground and covered with unworked stones of irregular sizes [1].
