You meet under the glow of Piazza Barberini's lamps as the city softens; the evening air carries the distant hum of Vespas while your guide slips you a key to a world below. Descending stone steps, the lights tighten and the city above becomes a rumor—corridors of earth and bone open ahead, and the silence dares you to listen.

History
The Capuchin Crypts date to the 17th century and display friars’ remains arranged as memento mori; the Priscilla Catacombs are an early Christian burial complex with art and inscriptions from the 2nd–5th centuries.
Conservation
Both sites are fragile: visitation is managed to limit impact on frescoes and remains, so follow guides' rules and avoid touching walls or artifacts.
