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.

    This tour was great. Well organized and a nice mixture of activity. Our guide Fiona was very nice and knowledgeable. Pointed out interesting things along the way, answered any questions , and gave a lot of good suggestions of things to do and see, and areas to eat. I was impressed that with our headsets we could hear her as our group traveled in 3 vehicles through Rome to the Appian way catacombs. I Highly recommend this tour.

    Interesting. Tour guide was very knowledgeable. Don’t forget to dress with your knees and shoulders covered as the crypt is under a church in Rome. Vans drive you out of the city limits to the Catacombs.
