A burial place, to store the deceased.
Catacombs were used in ancient times to bury the dead because land was expensive and scarce in the cities in which you find these catacombs. They were also used for services and as shelter for those who were trying to escape persecution. You Tube has some wonderful video clips of various catacombs, most are so large one could easily get lost while exploring them and never make it back out.
