Museum and Crypt of Capuchins Friars
Explore the Capuchin Crypts at closing time, where five chapels beneath the Church of Santa Maria della Concezione Cappuccini are adorned with the bones of Capuchin friars. Originally intended for burial, these crypts now serve as a powerful reminder of life's transience. Discover eerie yet intriguing displays in chapels like the Crypt of the Skulls and the Crypt of the Leg Bones and Thigh Bones. It's a unique and somewhat spooky experience!
