Cripta Capuccini

The Cripta Capuccini is probably the most unique place we visited in Rome. While the top floor is a museum that goes through the history of the church and monastery that is also on site, the basement is the reason to visit, and something you will never forget.

There, you'll find rooms that are ritualistically decorated with human skeletons (not fake, but real ones) as a way to bury the dead. It is very artistic, but creepy at the same time. Pictures are not allowed inside, but we can safely say that a picture wouldn't do this place justice.
