Rome - Cemeteries Cimitero dei Cappuccini The Capuchin Cemetery is located near the Church of Santa Maria della Concepzione. It consists of four internal rooms which can be accessed through a corridor. In the rooms are placed the bones of 4000 friars who died in Rome in a period between 1500 and 1870. The bones are put in such a way as to form decorative elements, while there are also skeletons dressed in the dress of the friars.
Rome - Cemeteries Cimitero di Domitilla The Catacomb of Domitilla is among the largest cemeteries in Rome. Through a modern staircase you access a small Basilica dedicated to Saints Nereo and Achilleo. It consists of three naves, separated by two rows of four columns. The only column is decorated with the beheading of Achilleo. A 3rd century fresco depicting the Christ Good Shepherd is of great interest. It contains several paintings from the 3rd and 4th centuries, among which that of the Epiphany stands out.
