San Bernardino alle Ossa Review

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 inconspicuous chapel not far south of Milan Cathedral. The famous human bones chamber is located on the left side of the main building of the church, and there is no need to enter the church. San Bernardino Bone Church. This church in the center of Milan has a long and rich history. In the 12th century, a hospital was built opposite the church. There was a cemetery next to the hospital. Later, the cemetery was full. People had to make room for the newly deceased. In 1269, The original structure of the church was built, and the remains of the original cemetery have been repository. Remember that in medieval Europe, the Black Death was endemic, and from the traces that are not seen today, the hellish horrors of that year are chilling.

Walking hundreds of meters behind Milan's cathedral, it didn't look very eye-catching, but the other church next to it was very eye-catching, and the entrance was in the small door adjacent to the church. Even if you hold the map, you still confirm it repeatedly before entering. Inside and the ordinary chapel undoubtedly, walked around without human bones, wondering whether to go wrong and left, saw that there was a dark small corridor, walked into the room to store human bones. There were many human bones, which piled up to the ceiling. I don't know if it is because of the lack of sunlight or psychological effect here, it feels obviously cold. There are always people who see that the human bones are silent and speechless. Life and death are just a wall.

It was Sunday when I went there, and I happened to meet them for worship. The choir sang very beautifully. The Human Bone Church is a small chapel on the left hand side where the aisle is on the side, and the middle cathedral is not. Watching requires 1 euro.

The Human Bone Church in Milan is very close to the Milan Cathedral and less than 10 minutes walk from the Milan Cathedral. The Human Bone Church is in the right tower of San Bernardino. Although small, it is quite shocking. The decoration on the wall is made by the Black Death, most of which was 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.
