Monks & Friars

Day 9
PALERMO/LEISURE
The Morning:
Palermo -
Catacombs of the Capuchins
The Catacombs contain around 8000 mummies that line the walls. The bodies
were dehydrated on the racks of ceramic pipes in the catacombs and some-
times later washed with vinegar. Some of the bodies were embalmed and
others enclosed in sealed glass cabinets. Monks were preserved with their
everyday clothing and sometimes with ropes they had worn as a penance.
Markets & Shops
Some leisure time to perhaps browse and shop or visit places of personal
interest.

The Afternoon:
Time to relax at the hotel and enjoy its facilities.
