What awaits you?
- You'll see narrative and beautifully restored murals that literally tell the whole story of Purgatory.
- You will learn about why and how the cult of Purgatory came about and what the Baroque ideas of the afterlife were.
- You will learn how the funeral masses were celebrated or what behaviour was expected of the bereaved.
- You'll hear stories of revenants, souls returning to the living.
- And you might even get a chill...
