Our tour guide was excellent. I wasn’t sure what to expect but ended up with an appreciation for the dedication and sacrifice of the friars and for what the crypts represent.

Amazing experience especially the Capuchin Crypts! Our tour guide, Anthony, was very knowledgeable and engaging. He let us walk the Catacombs without any rush and he’s great with giving us history...

Our guide, Venessa, managed to mix historical details with a flavor of humor, food, and other metaphors. The trip was the best we had in rome and suitable for escaping the heat of very hot days

About: Capuchin Crypt

The Navona Underground isn't the only piece of ancient history buried under the streets of Rome.

Comprising five underground chapels located under Rome’s church of Santa Maria della Concezione dei Cappuccini, Capuchin Crypt is a haunting heritage site decorated with the bones of around 3,700 Capuchin friars!

The macabre spectacle of skulls and bones was originally intended as a reminder of the ephemeral nature of life.
