Capuchin Crypt: Skip The Line Ticket + Audio Guide
About this experience
The Capuchin Crypt is a unique Baroque masterpiece, with few other places like it to be found in the city.
Inside, a long corridor with five chapels awaits you, adorned with the bones of nearly 4,000 friars from the 16th to 19th centuries. These bones form rosettes, pilasters, stars, and even chandeliers and crosses.
As you walk, you'll see thousands of bones—shinbones, femurs, and skulls—used to create niches and architectural features where skeletons dressed in friars' habits rest.
Each chapel is named after the types of bones used in its decoration and contains holy earth believed to be from Palestine or Jerusalem.

HMBotel notes for choosing your ticket
Compare the inclusions above with your plans: admission, a guided visit and a combination ticket may cover different services. The venue name alone is not enough to compare them.
Check the meeting point and arrival instructions before adding another activity. The displayed duration describes the activity; plan travel from your hotel and your return separately.
Booking and payment take place with Tiqets. On that final page, confirm the date, participants, visit language, final price and cancellation rules; an indicative HMBotel price is not a guarantee of availability.
