  • If you want to see something a little "out of the ordinary" while you're visiting Rome, check out the Cemetery of the Capuchins. Here, under the church of Santa Maria della Concezione, you will find a crypt in which they have taken the bones of thousands of Capuchin monks, and have arranged them into creative decorations in five rooms/chapels. It is a little creepy, but very interesting. It is located near the Barberini metro stop, just north of the piazza. It requires a small donation to enter and only consists of a few rooms, but if you're in the mood for something other than cathedrals and piazzas, it is well worth it and extremely memorable.
