The Journey
Piazza Barberini & Capuchin Crypts
Begin your Roman adventure at Piazza Barberini, a bustling square adorned with Bernini's iconic Triton Fountain, before descending into the eerie depths of the Capuchin Crypts. Located beneath the Church of Santa Maria della Concezione dei Cappuccini, these crypts offer a chilling reminder of mortality, decorated with the bones of over 4,000 Capuchin friars. Marvel at the artistic arrangements of skulls, femurs, and vertebrae, a macabre yet fascinating display that reflects on life, death, and the passage of time. A truly unique and unforgettable Roman experience.
Capuchin Crypts
Delve into the macabre beauty of the Capuchin Crypts, an ossuary beneath the Church of Santa Maria della Concezione dei Cappuccini. Here, the bones of over 4,000 Capuchin friars have been arranged into elaborate and thought-provoking displays. Explore the Crypt of the Skulls, the Crypt of the Leg Bones and Thigh Bones, and other chapels where human remains are transformed into art. More than just a collection of bones, the Capuchin Crypts offer a powerful meditation on mortality, inviting visitors to contemplate the ephemeral nature of life in a uniquely haunting setting.
Catacombs of Priscilla
Unlock the secrets of the Catacombs of Priscilla, an extensive network of underground tunnels stretching over 5 miles, often called the 'Queen of the Catacombs'. Descend with an ancient key and explore these sacred burial grounds of early Christians, including the tomb of a possible Christian Martyr. Discover the Acilii zone, the Greek Chapel adorned with early Christian frescoes, and the Arenario, each area revealing intriguing biblical-themed art and inscriptions. Unravel the history and mystery surrounding St. Priscilla, a noblewoman believed to be buried within, as you journey through this ancient subterranean world.
Rome's City Centre
Return to the vibrant heart of Rome after your subterranean explorations. The city center pulses with life, offering a stark contrast to the quiet solemnity of the catacombs. Re-emerge into a world of bustling piazzas, world-class restaurants, iconic landmarks and the vibrant Roman culture. While hotel drop-off is not included, you'll be perfectly positioned to continue exploring the Eternal City's countless treasures at your own pace, from the Colosseum to the Trevi Fountain.
