Museum and Crypt of Capuchins

1 hour

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.
