The catacombs beneath City Market have no external entry, and the public cannot access the interior entrance. If you manage to pass through, a concrete basement will be accessible via steps. After that, you can enter the catacombs, an underground labyrinth made up of over 140 columns. Access to the brick catacombs is via the basement of the four-story, multipurpose old convention hall known as Tomlinson Hall, which dates back to the 1800s.
