This place is a must visit. People who gave it 1 or 2 stars is not doing it justice. Yes it is grotesque, but not a big deal. Just skip it if you feel you are not interested. The catacombs are really big, a lot of mummies. A lot of them are not in a good shape. Some of them has skin and facial hair intact. But the 100 year old mummy of a 2 year old girl is fantastic. It really looks like she is just sleeping. Though the museum keepers didnt do a good job placing it under plastic glass and then hanging lamps over it, because it is really hard to get a good look. We bought tickets with a credit card today, cash is not needed. There is info in English if you scan QR code but I recommend reading Wiki. An interesting piece of history of Palermo.


This place is not for everyone. There are human remains hanging on the walls like a display case. If you're not ready to see it, go to an art gallery. I liked it here, it makes you think about death and rejoice in life. They don't accept cards, so be ready to pay €5 cash for a ticket.



The catacombs were as expected and worth a visit, I will say it's kinda dusty down there so you might get a bit of a tickly throat.







Viele Skelette ... so viele vom Kind bis zum Greis. Spannend ... Zombieartig .... gruselig ... und doch einmalig.


Creepy but cool. I was here 35 years ago and not much has changed. It was very cool seeing the embalmed baby that would have been over 100 years old today. You can’t take pics, but I’m sure that memory would stay with you forever like it has me.





KARTENZAHLUNG ERST AB VIER PERSONEN, ALSO 20€ MÖGLICH.
Eine sehr spannende und geschichtsträchtige Stätte mit einem gewissen Gruselfaktor :)
Schade, dass es nicht ein paar mehr Erklärungen zu gewissen Familien oder der Zeit selber gibt.

Die Kapuziner Gruft war schon sehr lange auf unserer Liste. Nun haben wir es geschafft und waren begeistert. Vorort gibt es einen Parkplatz Sheriff der mit 2-3 Euro zufrieden ist und dafür auf das Auto aufpasst. Man kann ansonsten kostenfrei auf dem Parkplatz direkt vor der Gruft parken. Tickets für Führungen (durchschnittlich 5-10 Euro) durch die Gruft können Vorort unkompliziert gekauft werden und es gibt keine all zu lange Wartezeit. Im Inneren wird man aus Respekt der Totenruhe gebeten, keine Fotos oder Videos zu machen. Man kann unglaublich viele verstorbenen Menschen aus dem 16. Jahrhundert bis 1920 gekleidet und Unterteilt in Kategorien bestaunen. Highlight ist natürlich das kleine Mädchen, welches immer noch so aussieht, als würde sie einfach schlafen. Für jeden, der sich für so etwas interessiert, ein must seen.
