San Bernardino alle Ossa Highlights: Must-See Features and Attractions
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.

Very close to Milan Cathedral, only a few minutes walk, a small white building, the interior is relatively simple, the bone room is not particularly easy to see, on the right hand side of the door, where is more amazing.
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
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.
A few hundred metres behind Milan Cathedral, the small church looks not very impressive, but next to another church is very eye-catching, the entrance is in the small door adjacent to that church. Even if you have a map in your hand, you have to confirm it again and again before you go in. There is no doubt that the inside and the ordinary chapel, walking a circle without human bones, wondering whether they have gone wrong and left, saw the original dark corridor, into which is the room where the human bones are stored. There are many bones that pile up to the ceiling. I don't know if it's because there's not much sunshine or because it's psychologically active. It's obviously cold and gloomy. There are always people in twos and threes who see that the silence of human bones is only a wall between life and death.
It was Sunday when I went, and I happened to meet them at church. The choir sang beautifully. The Human Bone Church is a small chapel on the left, where the walkway goes in. The middle cathedral is not. Watching takes 1 euro.
Milan's Human Bone Church is very close to the Milan Cathedral, less than 10 minutes from the Milan Cathedral. The Church of Bones is the right tower in San Bernardino. Although it is small, it is shocking. The decorations on the walls were made by the black death, mostly the remains of children.
It’s really suitable to come here to meet with good friends. I come two or three times a year and it has become a must for my party.
