Imagine a 20,000-square foot network of hallways, pathways, and passageways, hidden beneath the streets of Indianapolis—that describes the <a href="https://www.indianalandmarks.org/tours-events/ongoing-tours-events/city-market-catacombs-tour/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">City Market Catacombs</a>. Created in the 1880s of limestone and brick, its entrance almost completely hidden from public view, the Catacombs purpose was to transport and store meats before the days of refrigeration. “Today, what lies under the Indianapolis City Market is one of only a few intact catacombs remaining in the United States today,” explains Caitlin Muller, a PR professional.
