5/5
This is one of the most off the beaten track and unreal sights. You really feel alive when walking around the 1000's of skeletons of Capuchin monks. Exceptionally the one that states 'what you are now, we used to be. What we are now, you will become."

    The basement of Skeleton Church is a work of art. Life and death are obvious in every corner. Basically, 3,000 monk bones are used to make these amazing exhibitions, and the monks dedicated to the monastery have faith because their bones are used to create this religious art.

    It is also called the Notre Dame of Innocence or the Church of Bones, located on the famous Veneto Road in Rome, next to the Bee Fountain designed by Benigni. The Church is one of the ancestors of the Human Bone Church. It is said that the design inspiration of the Portuguese Human Bone Church came from it. In addition, it was built earlier than the Czech Human Bone Church. The Church of Bones is actually the underground catacomb of the church.

    A very interesting display of bones in an artistic format. Walk through different cells that use different parts of the body to create the artwork.

    Unbelievably beautiful artistry with a most unexpected medium -- human bones. The shape and size of each bone in our structure is an art piece. The motifs in this crypt expand on this. If you are in Rome, here is a place to see.

    The Capuchin Crypt is a unique meditation on death constructed by the monks themselves, with the bones of their deceased brothers.
