Via Veneto 27, 00187, Rome

  • Experience one of Rome's buried cultural treasures with a bone-chilling guided tour of the Capuchin Crypt
  • See the haunting spectacle of 3,700 skeletons and bones of the Capuchin friars, stacked and arranged as chapel decoration
  • Hear the fascinating stories of how this lesser-known Roman cultural wonder came into being, on an atmospheric underground tour

Rome has a skeleton or two in the closet. Buried beneath the unassuming architecture of the Santa Maria della Concezione dei Cappuccini, there's a spine-tingling spectacle!

Join an expert English-speaking guide and delve into a fascinating chapter of Rome's medieval history at the Capuchin Crypt. See the bones of almost 4,000 friars stacked into macabre chapel decorations.

This haunting and moving arrangement of human remains is a reminder of the fragile fleetingness of life, and is one of Rome's best-kept cultural secrets. Don't miss it!

You must have a guide to be able to interpret the history of Crypt. Our guide (sorry I did not hear his name) was very knowledgeable.

Absolutely fascinating tour of The Crypt of the Capuchin Friars whilst in Rome. Our tour guide was so knowledgeable and informative, whilst making us feel very relaxed. After the excess of Vatican City the contrast was very grounding. Thoroughly enjoyable way to spend an hour doing something a little different and very pleased we did this.
