The Crypt of the Capuchin is a wild place lol. All of the bones are from friars who lived there in the years leading up to its creation. They were buried in the sacred dirt and then they would run out of space, so they would remove bones so other friars could be buried in the sacred dirt post death. Thus lots of extra bones! There are varying stories about the friar who made the crypts, and his creative genius. It’s actually pretty impressive - he was talented that’s for sure. There are a number of rooms, such as “the room of the pelvis”.

The stewards of the Crypt insist it is not supposed to be macabre, but a representation of our mortality!
