  Santa Maria della Concezione dei Cappuccini

  Enter the quiet Capuchin complex beneath this 17th-century church, home to the friars for centuries. With your ticket scanned and audio guide in hand, learn about the Capuchin order, their long history in Rome, and why these underground chapels were created.

  10 minutes • Admission ticket included

  Museum and Crypt of Capuchins Friars

  Continue through the museum spaces, where displays explain the friars' humble traditions and daily life. This background makes the crypts below far more meaningful for first-time visitors.

  Museum and Crypt of Capuchins Friars

  Descend into the first bone-decorated chapels, where skulls and vertebrae form arches, patterns, and simple symbols. As you move along the narrow corridor, the audio guide explains how these arrangements connect to themes of faith, humility, and mortality. Further inside, you reach the most elaborate space of all, where chandeliers, altars, and wall designs are shaped entirely from friars' bones. Take your time in the Crypt of the Skulls and the Crypt of the Pelvises before following the route back to the exit.
