The Via Anapo catacombs or Anonima di Via Anapo are a set of catacombs on the Via Salaria in Rome, first built in the 3rd–4th centuries and rich in wall paintings, inscriptions, and sarcophagus fragments. They were discovered on 31 May 1578 when some workers digging for pozzolana witnessed a landslide, only for the complex to be lost in another landslide and rediscovered again in the early 20th century.
