Capuchin Catacombs tickets and visitor guidance
Before choosing this visit, make sure everyone in your group understands that the displays contain real human remains, including children. This is a burial place rather than a theatrical attraction. Plan something outdoors afterwards and avoid putting another fixed appointment immediately after it: some visitors leave quickly, while others want time to pause before continuing their day.
