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.
The human bone room will have Ossa signs on the right hand side after entering the church. The room is not very big, but the lights are gloomy, and the bones of the skull and arms are embedded in the walls around it. In fact, I am a little curious, where have the bones of the other parts gone! Visiting the human bone room is free.
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.
