In a dusty, nondescript corner of old Palermo
There is a dark, badly-signposted doorway that leads down into The Capuchin Catacombs
Go down a dark corridor
Until you see something strange lining the walls
There are said to be 8,000 corpses in the catacombs
It was traditional for the family to visit the deceased on special occasions



They would often change its clothes, comb its hair and apply perfumes
The Catacombs can be too much WTF for some people to handle
So don’t go if you’re easily spooked

Location: Catacombe dei Cappuccini, Chiesa di Santa Maria della Pace, Piazza Cappuccini, Palermo
