Crypt in Church of St Paul houses the remains of the Martyrs of Japan and Vietnam, who were Christians persecuted in the late 16th and 17th centuries. It’s also located in an underground room in the Ruins of the Church of St Paul, just beside the Museum of Sacred Art. Also in the Crypt is the recently unearthed tomb of Alessandro Valignano, the Jesuit who founded the College of the Mother of God and is credited with establishing Christianity in Japan. Here suppose to be no photography, but it’s too late before I noticed it. :p
