The Journey

1

Piazza Barberini

Piazza Barberini, a bustling Baroque square, serves as a vibrant gateway to Rome's artistic and historical wonders. Dominated by Bernini's magnificent Triton Fountain, the square is a visual feast and a starting point for exploring nearby attractions like the Palazzo Barberini and the Capuchin Crypt. The square's lively atmosphere and historical significance make it a must-see location for any visitor to Rome.

Capuchin Crypt

Descend into the chilling yet strangely beautiful Capuchin Crypt, an ossuary beneath the Church of Santa Maria della Concezione dei Cappuccini. Adorned with the skeletal remains of nearly 4,000 Capuchin monks, arranged into macabre decorations and artistic displays, the crypt serves as a memento mori, a reflection on life's transience. The accompanying museum offers context to this unique and thought-provoking site, making it an unforgettable and somewhat unsettling experience.
