Visit the fascinating Capuchin Crypts, decorated with other 3,700 bodies, and learn the symbolism and history behind the macabre decoration
1h · Admission includedHear one of the darker tales of Rome's most recent past, with a tragic story from the Second World War.
10 minHear one of the lesser known tales of the Trevi Fountain, and how a hidden love led to murder and haunting.
15 minWhile the Pantheon is one of the grandest buildings in Rome, the buildings around it can hold sinister secrets. Discover the story of a macabre butcher shop that inspired the tale of Sweeney Todd.
15 minThe beauty of one of Rome's main squares hides two tragic tales. Learn the haunting tale of a young noblewoman, and discover a tale that may make you think twice about what you say around strangers.
20 minVisit Rome’s Capuchin Crypts, decorated with the bones of more than 3,700 monks. Skulls form wall patterns, vertebrae become chandeliers, and entire rooms serve as a striking meditation on mortality.
Before entering, your guide explains why the Capuchins created this extraordinary display and how to understand the symbolism behind the bone arrangements. Inside, you’ll explore with the venue’s required audio guide, while your guide remains available for the questions that inevitably arise when you’re standing beneath someone’s spine.
Most tours end at the crypt. We don’t.
Afterwards, continue through Rome’s historic centre to uncover darker stories hidden behind the city’s elegant monuments - ghosts with good timing at the Trevi Fountain, culinary scandals worthy of Sweeney Todd, and a woman's hand that was just too beautiful to stay hidden away after her death.
Small groups of fifteen people keep the experience intimate and easy to hear every disturbing detail.
