The "Bones Chapel" was a prayer and meditation place of the Franciscans about human condition, built in the XVI century and completely covered with human bones of the graves of the town. Once inside we may feel the tragic atmosphere of a crypt...

Impressive scene well seized for an excellent image.I saw something similar in the Catacombs under one of the churches in Lima,Peru but could not get as good an image as this.Good work,my friend.

Salutations-Laurent

Merci Laurent! I also saw the Catacombs in Rome and there was some skeletons there but far from this number. The atmosphere inside of this chapel is very heavy indeed... the most peculiar for me is that they used the skeletons to cover  all the inside...

Best regards my friend!
