The Catacombs of Paris
The Catacombs of Paris are made up of miles and miles of bones, sculpted into a truly grotesque array of patterns. These bones were originally buried in Paris’ many cemeteries, but centuries of overcrowding led to city officials ordering the oldest bones moved to underground ossuaries. The mess of bones was then arranged into a respectful mausoleum that could also function as a tourist attraction.
