What To Expect

Museum and Crypt of Capuchins Friars

The Capuchin Crypt, often referred to as the 'Bone Church of Rome,' is a striking and unique heritage site that captivates visitors with its macabre beauty. This intriguing crypt consists of six small chapels, each artistically adorned with the skeletal remains of approximately 4,000 Capuchin friars who lived between 1528 and 1870. The bones are meticulously arranged in decorative patterns, serving as a poignant reminder of mortality and the passage of time, while also inviting reflection on the balance between life and death. It stands as a testament to the Capuchin order's values and beliefs, making it a thought-provoking stop for those exploring Rome's rich historical tapestry.
