Description
Discover Rome’s dark hidden past with a tour of the Capuchin Crypts and exclusive after-hours access to the Priscilla Catacombs, exploring ancient tunnels free from the usual crowds.
Discover what lies beneath the streets of Rome on a tour of the mysterious crypts and catacombs of the Eternal City.
Visit the Museum and Crypt of the Capuchin Friars, known as the Bone Chapel for the bones of nearly 4,000 people that the Capuchin monks used to decorate the walls and ceilings in intricate designs. Be amazed by a real skull and crossbones, chandeliers made from vertebrae and full skeletons in their robes. See a masterpiece by Caravaggio of Saint Francis in meditation in the museum annex.
Then, journey by air-conditioned coach to the Catacombs of Priscilla and explore the Christian burial sites of the late 2nd through the 4th century after hours. Admire art depicting scenes from the Old and New Testament, along with the tombs of early popes and martyrs.
Benefit from the services of an English-speaking expert guide as you explore tunnels lined with tombs carved out of the rock, and hear the fascinating history about these sacred sites to get an alternative history of Rome.
