What to expect

Capuchin Crypt and Museum

Begin at the haunting yet beautiful Capuchin Crypt, home to Caravaggio’s St. Francis in Meditation. Walk through its museum, which traces the humble life of the Capuchin friars, before entering the “Bone Chapel,” where the remains of over 4,000 monks form ornate, symbolic displays.

Christian Catacombs

Next, venture deep beneath the city into the Christian Catacombs, a labyrinth of tunnels dating back nearly 2,000 years. Follow your guide through narrow passageways filled with frescoes, burial niches, and stories of faith and resilience from Rome’s earliest Christians.
