Capuchins Crypt Tour and Concert in Rome
Rome
Description
The Capuchin Crypt—monk-bone-laden chapels underneath the Church of Santa Maria della Concezione—is one of Rome’s most macabre attractions. It’s also, it turns out, a great place to see religious art. With this tour, skip the stuffy Vatican and head for a guided visit of the Capuchin museum and church, home to a Caravaggio painting, and then sit for a concert of Gregorian chants and polyphonic sacred music.
- Listen to a concert of sacred music in the bone-laden Capuchin Crypt
- Ideal for travelers who want to see a macabre side of Rome’s religious history
- The tour is limited to 30 people, so you won’t get crowded out in the narrow crypt

Reviews for Capuchins Crypt Tour and Concert in Rome
Unique Experience.

It was a cool, not so popular thing to experience. I usually don't like audio tours but this was well done - styled like an interview. Very informative. The crypt was interesting to say the least, and the Gregorian opera was amazing. I only wish they would do some longer pieces.
A truly unforgettable tour

What a truly amazing and memorable event! We were given an extremely interesting tour of the crypt, followed by the most beautiful concert. The team - Roma Opera Omnia are true professional's delivering a superb event.
We would highly recommend this tour, it is excellent and worth every penny.
Heavenly concert along with incredible bone art

After a brief visit in the church, we headed to the crypt which housed four rooms decorated with bones mostly belonging to the Capuchins and one additional room without bones serving as their small chapel. The rooms with bones are incredibly interesting containing thousands of bones arranged as works of art. Each also contains the mummified remains of some of the monks. Afterwords, a concert with four singers performs religious songs through the ages. Listening with eyes closed is a heavenly sensation ending our unusual but definitely worthwhile experience.
Not to be missed.

What an incredibly unique experience. Our guide Angie was articulate and knowledgeable and provided an enthusiastic tour through the church and crypt which has no comparisons. The following concert left us in awe, the combined voices are from heaven.
An unforgettable experience 😁

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING 🥹
Me and my family, we have never seen something like this place, which made our experience very unique. The tour guide was passionate about what he was doing, so it was really interesting. We must admit that our favourite part was the concert! Sending big thanks to Paola Alonzi, Micaela Parrilla, Marco Ciardo and Stefano Sabene!!! They sang so beautifully evoking so many wonderful emotions. Since one of my family members had her birthday today, they also sang her a little happy birthday song and wrote little wishes onto the paper that was in the CD that we bought. We are truly glad to have come 💗
