Mummies of Capuchin, Italy

Italy, Mummies of Capuchin

Mummies of Capuchin in Italy. The monks of the Capuchin monastery discovered naturally mummificated priests, buried in the catacombs, this discovery happened more than 400 years ago, in Palermo. The news spread rapidly, and authorities allowed ordinary citizens to be buried the same way in the same place. Now, you can see thousands of corpses, most of whom wore battered remnants of beautiful robes, exhibited now in the narrow halls of the dark Museum.

About 8000 mummies in the Capuchin catacombs in Palermo are exhibited in the halls, according to their earthly status: male or female, priest or worker, child or adult. There’s also a chamber for virgins.
