Visited the catacombs of the Capuchins in the north of Palermo. This has the bodies of dead monks, as well as others, who I assume were connected with the parish. The bodies are mostly partly preserved by the conditions in the catacombs, they are not just skeletons. Most are dressed in their clothes and some have name tags. There are pictures related to the Via Crucis, I assume this is prayed down there sometimes.
The tourist guide book says this visit us not recommended for young children, but there were plenty there, and a woman told me that local schools visit there all the time.
