Useful Information
Capuchin Bone Chapel, Rome
- The Capuchin Crypt: chapels decorated entirely by human bones - this tour skips the line and you can enjoy a private, exclusive viewing of the chapels
- Domitilla Catacombs: ancient Christian burial ground
- Church of San Clemente: built over an ancient 4th-century church, which in turn was built over an older Roman house containing Christian artifacts and a pagan temple
As you descend into the Eternal City's subterranean burial chambers, winding catacombs and ancient crypts, you'll discover the secrets of imperial and early Christian Rome. You'll travel to a time when Christianity was considered a cult, and whose members were executed as pagans and buried as martyrs.

This tour was absolutely amazing! I am a huge fan of history and learning about other walks of life. We learned a tremendous amount of information and I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone. The Capuchin crypts were simply captivating, and the catacombs were so unique and different, unlike anything else in Rome. However we especially loved the church that we visited because it was so historically significant and gives insight into several centuries of history and ways of life.
