==Tomb== It was believed that Urban was buried in the [[Coemetarium Praetextati]] where a tomb was inscribed with his name. However, when excavating the [[Catacomb of Callixtus]] Italian archaeologist [[Giovanni de Rossi]] uncovered the lid of a sarcophagus which suggested that Urban was in fact buried there. De Rossi also found a list of martyrs and confessors who were buried at St. Callistus's, which contained Urban's name. De Rossi therefore concluded that the Urban buried in the Coemetarium Praetextati was another bishop and Pope Urban was located in Catacomb of St. Callistus. While many historians accept this opinion, doubt remains since [[Pope Sixtus III]]'s list of saints buried in St. Callistus's Catacomb does not include Urban in the succession of popes but rather in a list of foreign bishops. Therefore, it is possible that Pope Urban is indeed buried in the Coemetarium Praetextati.<ref name="Catholic Encyclopedia"/><ref>''Calendarium Romanum'' (Libreria Editrice Vaticana, 1969), p. 124</ref> Urban is a saint of the [[Catholic Church]] and the [[Eastern Orthodox Church]].<ref>February 25 / February 12. https://www.holytrinityorthodox.com/htc/orthodox-calendar/</ref> A relic from his body is located in [[Hungary]] in the [[Monok]] Roman Catholic Church. In 1773, [[Pope Clement XIV]] donated it to the [[Andrássy]] family.
