Description
Rome has just a couple of skeletons in the closet.... Buried beneath the modest architecture of the Church of Santa Maria della Concezione dei Cappuccini you will find a hair-raising scene. Follow an expert guide and immerse yourself in a fascinating chapter of Rome's medieval history at the Capuchin Crypt. Gape at the bones of almost 4,000 friars assembled into macabre chapel decorations. This arrangement of human remains, at once disturbing and touching, is a reminder of the fragile evanescence of life and is one of Rome's best-kept cultural secrets. An experience not to be missed.
