Description
The church of Santa Maria della Concezione in Rome Italy is probably more famous for its crypts than for the church itself. I confess that I too visited the church first for the ossuary and went to the church as an afterthought. After the church was finished in 1631, it was ordered that the remains of Capuchin friars be moved from the cemetery to the church’s crypt. The bones were to be placed on the walls in a specific way, creating different motifs and designs full of religious symbolism, a site were the friars would come to reflect and pray. The chapels also house whole skeletons dressed with the Capuchin brown habit. As for the nave, the sanctuary is shallow and flanked by a pair of ribbed Corinthian columns. There are doors on each side of the altar which lead into the choir. Above there are cupboards containing relics and two circular paintings of Mary Magdalen (right) and St Lawrence of Brindisi (left).
