Cimitero dei Cappuccini

  Cimitero dei Cappuccini stands at Via Manfredo Fanti, just a short walk from the bustling center of Rome. This unique burial site dates back to the 17th century and is known for its macabre yet fascinating decorative style, featuring the bones of Capuchin friars creatively arranged in various patterns. Serving both as a cemetery and a museum, it offers visitors insight into a historical approach to mortality and faith. Open year-round, it attracts attention especially during the fall months when the gentle change in weather provides a reflective atmosphere. Visitors can explore the ossuary and admire the intricate designs while contemplating the intertwining of life and death in this solemn space.
