The burial chamber (cubiculum) is located in the upper level of the Catacomb. Most parts of the chamber are painted. Only the niche on the back wall was decorated with mosaics, which are mostly lost today. An apostle and a saint in front of an exedra stand in each niche on the sidewalls: the nominated Paulus and Laurentius (right); Petrus und probably Gennaro (left) – the inscriptions of these two are not preserved today. The saints hold in the hands a martyr wreath. Marble imitation decorates the front side of these tombs. The ceiling shows a geometrical decoration system. The paintings are currently dated in the 5th century A.D.
