San Bernardino alle Ossa
Cerchia dei Navigli, Milan
"A small church with a unique ossuary chapel, where thousands of human bones are arranged into striking artistic patterns."
If bones don’t unnerve you, consider visiting San Bernardino alle Ossa, a small church with an ossuary near Milan’s cathedral. Inside, you’ll find thousands of human bones, carefully arranged as an eerie yet artistic display, sourced from a former hospital graveyard. The chapel’s ceiling fresco, Triumph of Souls in a Flight of Angels (1695) by Sebastiano Ricci, adds to the chapel’s haunting yet captivating beauty.
