Within these hallowed grounds lie astonishing exhibits showcasing more than 3,700 human skeletons. Following this bone-chilling encounter, your journey continues to the expansive underground tombs for a guided tour of the Catacombs of Rome before passing by the Appian Way and concluding your tour with a visit to Santa Maria in Cosmedin and its famed Mouth of Truth.
Museum and Crypt of Capuchins Friars
Explore the Capuchin Crypts Nestled beneath the esteemed Church of Santa Maria della Concezione Cappuccini, lie five awe-inspiring chapels adorned with the bones of Capuchin friars. These friars were interred during a time when the Catholic Church permitted burial beneath its sacred grounds. The Capuchin Crypts, although not initially intended as macabre art, serve as a poignant symbol of mortality and the journey of life through the earthly realm. With the added advantage of bypassing queues, you will have the privilege of exploring all five chapels: the Crypt of the Resurrection, the Crypt of the Skulls, the Crypt of the Pelvises, the Crypt of the Leg Bones and Thigh Bones, and the Crypt of the Three Skeletons. This chilling yet captivating display awaits your up-close encounter, offering a truly fascinating experience.

5.00Our guide Paula was the best, could answer every question and was really nice to chat with. And some funny jokes. Amazing to see the Skeletons and the catacombs later. Transfer was smooth and during it Paula told us more about the city and the history. Really amazing. Thank you for that experience.
