Catacombe dei Cappuccini: are burial catacombs in Palermo, Sicily, southern Italy.
The catacombs contain about 8000 mummies that line the walls. The halls are divided into categories: Men, Women, Virgins, Children, Priests, Monks, and Professionals. Some bodies are better preserved than others. Some are set in poses; for example, two children are sitting together in a rocking chair.
Viewer discretion is advised.
