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.

    Thought the catacombs were where the bones were, but turns out 2000 years doesn't do well on skeletons, the tunnels themselves and their history regarding the early Christian Church was cool. The cappuchin crypt however, you will see the bones and it is definitely something. A unique experience to be sure

    Not what was expected. I wouldn’t do it again. The drop off at the end of tour was pretty far away the beginning of the tour. Very difficult to get a taxi in area where drop off occurred. Disappointed considering cost.

    This is an amazing tour. Seeing the way a person’s bones are used to make a beautiful display and then learning about how the bodies of individuals were buried in crypts. After only seeing a portion of the crypts and learning that the length of the crypts are more extensive is awe inspiring. I would highly recommend taking this tour.
