The Capuchin Crypt is located underneath the church of Santa Maria della Concezione. Four thousand skeletons of Capuchin friars are buried in the crypt. The friars constructed the site themselves, beginning in the late 17th century and continuing for over 100 years. The friars decorated the crypt with the bones in intricate patterns, creating a beautiful yet eerie atmosphere.
