What To Expect

Museum and Crypt of Capuchins Friars

The Capuchin Crypt, often referred to as the 'Bone Church of Rome,' is a fascinating and macabre heritage site that showcases the unique practices of the Capuchin friars. Located beneath the Church of Santa Maria della Concezione dei Cappuccini, the crypt comprises six small chapels adorned with the skeletal remains of approximately 4,000 friars, who met their end between 1528 and 1870. These meticulously arranged bones serve both as a stark reminder of mortality and as a form of artistic expression, creating a hauntingly beautiful yet somber atmosphere that invites reflection on life, death, and the transience of human existence.

Piazza del Popolo

Piazza del Popolo, meaning 'People's Square' in Italian, is a historic and vibrant public space in Rome, originally designed to greet visitors and pilgrims arriving from the north via the Via Flaminia. The square is notable for its distinctive oval shape and is framed by the beautiful twin churches of Santa Maria dei Miracoli and Santa Maria in Montesanto, which were built in the Baroque style and contribute to the square's harmonious aesthetic. Adding to its grandeur, the piazza is adorned with an ancient Egyptian obelisk at its center and surrounded by impressive architectural features, making it a popular gathering place for both locals and tourists alike.
