capuchin cripta di roma
since it's almost halloween, i was reminded of this crazy crypt i visited in rome a few years back. the capuchin crypt, in the chapels below the church of santa maria della concezione dei cappuccini is decorated floor to ceiling with the bones of 4,000 capuchin friars. it is CRAZY, and creepy. kind of morbidly beautiful in a way.

There is many others in Europe and I visited the one (The Capela dos Ossos) in Evora, Portugal. It was totally creepy.
