Catacombs in Paris

Catacombs in Paris
Originally uploaded by Gremlink.

Paris is a romantic and beautiful city. But there is actually an underground Paris that people seldom see. It is literally an underground area called the Catacombs. In it are the bones of millions of Parisians who were buried in this city. Since the cemetaries were running out of spaces, bones were dug up and placed in the catacombs. The skulls and bones are neatly stacked and going through the catacombs is a chilling and memorable experience. Just looking at the sockets of the skulls starring back at you gives you the chills, but also gives you a sense of history.
