The

catacombs of Kom el Shoqafa are an archaeological site located in the city of Alexandria, Egypt. This extensive complex of impressively decorated tombs dates back to Roman times and is considered one of the "Seven Wonders of the Middle Ages". The lower levels of the complex are flooded, but the tomb walls of the accessible areas are extensively decorated. They display an unusual fusion of Greek, Roman and Egyptian iconography given the time of their construction. The figures carved into the tomb walls often combine the forms of Egyptian gods dressed in Roman or Greek fashion, or creatures from Greek and Roman mythology, with pharaonic symbols.

  The necropolis consists of a series of Alexandrian catacombs that contain a large number of graves. The place was used as a burial chamber from the 2nd century to the 4th century. It was only unexpectedly rediscovered in 1900.
