The crypt of the church comprises five chapels, the floors of which are covered with earth brought from the Holy Land. Friars that were part of the Capucin community at this church were buried in that holy earth, but when the space was filled, bodies of the long deceased were dug up and dismantled to make room for new occupants. The bones of the disinterred - from some 4000 bodies dating between 1528 and 1870 - were then used to create intricate designs that cover the walls and the vaults of the chapels.

There is no price really set, we all find our way there any way we can. While we have tried to stay somewhat close to each other, lodging is too for each to find. We use olsojente here as our billboard, post her a mesage as she know more details.
