40,000 plus skeletons
40 to 70,000 human skeletons decorating the inside of a chapel as chandeliers, coat of arms, crosses, and in mounds of skulls and femurs perfectly arranged make a fascinating and macabre spectacle in the Kutná Hora (unesco) ossuary/chapel. Kutná Hora is wealthy from its silver mines so we supported the silver industry by 'investing' in some silver jewellery.
