Convent of the Capuchin Friars

Local name: Convento dei Frati Cappuccini

The Capuchin convent in Rome is visited by tourists primarily because of the crypt-osuarium located here, in which the bones and skulls of the Capuchin brothers who died between 1528 and 1870 were collected. The church itself is a Baroque, three-nave building with side chapels and frescoes imitating elements architectural.

The monastery has a multimedia museum that presents the history of the order and its presence in Rome, the most important aspects of the Capuchin spirituality, as well as a rich collection of religious art, as well as items and vestments.
