Begin your experience in whichever way suits you best. Once booked, your official Capuchin Crypt entry tickets will be emailed to you within 24 hours, allowing you to head straight to the Capuchin Crypt and enter anytime during opening hours using your digital ticket.

If you'd prefer assistance before your visit, meet our Welcome Staff at your scheduled time in Piazza Barberini, in front of the Fontana del Tritone. They'll answer any questions, help point you in the right direction, and ensure you're ready to begin your self-guided visit.

With your ticket scanned and an audio guide in hand, step into the quiet interior of the Capuchin complex. Learn about the Capuchin order, their centuries of life in Rome, and why these underground chapels were created.

Continue your exploration into the first bone-decorated chapels, where skulls and vertebrae form arches, patterns, and simple symbols. As you move along the narrow corridor, learn how these arrangements connect to themes of faith, humility, and mortality.

Further inside, reach one of the most elaborate spaces, where chandeliers, altars, and wall designs are all shaped from Capuchin friars’ bones. Take your time to notice the details, reflect on the lives behind these remains, and absorb the unusual stillness of the crypt.

After roughly an hour underground, follow the route back towards the exit of the Capuchin Crypts. Step out into the streets of Rome with a vivid memory of this stark site that few visitors forget.
