Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
The Ossuary Church of San Bernardino is located on the southeast side of the famous Milan Cathedral. The interior and walls of the ossuary are decorated with human bones. The history of the Ossuary Church of St. Bernardino can be traced back to 1210. At that time, a hospital and a cemetery were built near the church. Since there was no space left in the cemetery, a room was built in the church to store the bones of the deceased. In the 17th century, the people of Milan built this baroque church in memory of innocent children who died in the plague in the early seventeenth century, and redecorated the walls and vaults of the ossuary with skeleton diagrams. The church was destroyed in a fire in 1712, and was later rebuilt and enlarged to the size of the ossuary.

It takes about 10 minutes to walk southeast from the Milan church, and the facade is incomparable to the Milan cathedral, but the essence here is the human bone room, a room decorated with many bones.
The rare human bone church, built from the 12th century, was originally only to collect the remains of the unfortunate people who died of various diseases in the hospital, and then built the church together. It was deep and the place was not big, but it was shocking and worth a visit. About a minute walk from the cathedral. Completely free of ticket, just push the door in
Very interesting church, a little more understanding of European Catholic culture.
More distinctive shapes are also very beautiful 😯
The bone chamber will have Ossa's sign at the entrance to the right-hand passage of the church. The room was not very large, but the lights were gloomy. Skulls and arm bones were embedded in the walls around it. Actually, I'm a little curious. Where are the bones of the other parts? Visiting the bone chamber is free of charge.
This humble chapel not far south of Milan Cathedral. The famous human skeleton chamber is located on the left of the main building of the church, without entering the church. Saint Bernardino Bone Church. This Church in the centre of Milan has a long and rich history - in the 12th century there was a hospital opposite the church. There was a cemetery next to the hospital. Later, the cemetery was full. People had to vacate the cemetery for the newly deceased. In 1269, the prototype of the Saint Bernardino Bone Church was built, and the remains of the original cemetery had a new storage site. You remember that in the Middle Ages, the Black Death was prevalent in Europe. Among the few traces that remain today, the hell-like tragedy of that year was frightening.
