Capuchin Monastery Catacombs, Palermo


One of the places where death is most deeply felt in Sicily, is the Capuchin Monastery...

The structure is not different from a normal church, you can find the death house when you walk around Palermo...

We bought the tickets after we decided to go inside with some fear and starting to travel to the world of the dead...

The mummies are located on the lower floor of the church. After passing through the low corridor, the most interesting landscape you can see in the world is welcoming you...

2,000 dead in their coffins say hello to us in their eternal sleeping... 

The inside is pretty cool, the sunlight almost never enters. As we continue our journey in the corridors, we meet hundreds of different people in different clothes and at different ages...

Being so close to death that we try to escape always is very influential...

The thing that awaits us is a lot of confusion when we follow the road... This is a girl's body that is mummified at 2 years old and never intact... It is not possible to be affected...

Finally we secretly take a few photos and go back to our life...
