Area：Sicily:Palermo ： Tourist spot
Catacombs of the Capuchins (Catacombe dei Cappucini) are burial catacomb. These crypts hold thousands of mummified remains, some of which are spookily well-preserved. The Capuchins began burying their own friars in the crypts underneath the monastery in the 16th century, and they soon discovered that the unique conditions in the catacombs - combined with their own burial traditions - preserved the bodies extremely well.
There are more than 8,000 bodies interred in there. There are chambers dedicated to priests, monks, women, men, and children. Some are still encased in coffins, some are perched in standing positions on the walls overlooking the tourists below.
