I'm a big skeleton fan, so this was right up my alley. I wasn't really counting on the dried skin to be slapped back on some of the skeletons though. That was quite the extra touch. There were signs saying not to take photos (not that people heeded them), but I'm not sure it was out of any sense of... more

This is one of the coolest and must unique things to see in Rome. It's wacky religious, mysterious, and cool. It is unfortunate though that they don't allow photos and that the lady who works there was a bit rude about needing donations. Still, the visit makes a great story. more

My friend has lived in Rome for years and we'd never come across this place until recently. Well worth a visit, especially if you've visited Rome several times and have seen the usual sights. Went in April 2008. I don't want too say too much as it may lessen the impact of this place - it's incredible and quite eerie.... more

I loved this place, truely gruesome and bizarre because they have created art out of the bones of dead monks. Best site in Rome! However, in 2004 it was closed for rennovations so check to see if it has reopened before getting too excited. more
