Ever since I first read "The Cask of Amontillado" in high school I have been really interested in the catacombs, the famous ossuary in Paris. I find it fascinating. The underground windy maze comprised of intricately woven walls of bones and skulls from the 1800’s. When the cemeteries were overflowing, and disease was spreading rampantly, this was the solution that was deemed appropriate to remedy the situation. Call it macabre, but I find it beautiful.
