The Smell of Death

For those of you ve are lovers of horror and morbidity I recommend visiting these catacombs located on the outskirts of Palermo in Sicily. When you descend the stairs to enter the catacombs and you may notice a musty smell in the air, once inside you will find hundreds of mummified bodies will awaken your curiosity, do not miss the chapel of babies.

Catacombs of Capuccinos: amazingly perfect !!!

Catacumbas de los Capuccinos: asombrosamente perfecto !!!

En uno de nuestros viajes por Europa, y en un crucero con Holland America Line, hicimos una escala en Palermo. Entre otras visitas que hicimos a la ciudad, una de los luhares que habíamos visto en numerosos reportajes en la televisión y que teníamos especial emoción por ver eran las "Catacumbas de los Capuccinos". Son asombrosamente perfectas. ¿Dan miedo? En absoluto. Cuentan con más de 8000 esqueletos super conservados de entre 1559 y 1880. Desde la terminal de pasajeros de cruceros de Palermo hay unos 10 minutos en taxi (si hay tráfico). Es muy fácil llegar. Lo mejor es coger el paseo marítimo por la Via Francesco Crispi hasta el muelle deportivo, coger la gran Vía Vittorio Emanuele, tomar la derecha por Vía Cappuccini y a unos 400m girar a derecha por Via Pindemonte. Las encontramos de frente y entrar cuesta 3€.

From the cruise passenger terminal of Palermo's about 10 minutes by taxi (if no traffic). It is very easy to get. Best get the promenade along Via Francesco Crispi to the marina, take the great Via Vittorio Emanuele, take right onto Via Cappuccini and about 400m turn right into Via Pindemonte. The front and go find costs 3 €.

Catacumbas de los Capuccinos

Los monumentos muy bien, pero ir expresamente a ver Palermo, la verdad, no merece la pena la ciudad. A mi punto de vista no vale nada.
Monuments fine, but specifically go to see Palermo, really not worth the city. My view is worthless.

A special place but not recommended for those who are "sensitive" to a certain type of image.

Un posto particolare ma sconsigliato a chi è "sensibile" ad un certo tipo di immagini.

Excellent
I nobili palermitani usavano farsi mummificare e conservare in questo antico convento. Di particolare interesse la mummia della bambina perfettamente conservata nella sua innocente bellezza.
