About this experience
The Capuchin Crypt is a remarkable Baroque masterpiece, unlike anything else in the city. Inside, a long corridor leads to five chapels, each adorned with the bones of nearly 4,000 friars from the 16th to 19th centuries. These bones are artistically arranged to form rosettes, pilasters, stars, and even chandeliers and crosses. As you explore, you'll encounter thousands of bones—shinbones, femurs, and skulls—used to create niches and architectural details, with skeletons dressed in friars' habits resting within. Each chapel is named after the types of bones used in its design and contains holy earth believed to originate from Palestine or Jerusalem!
