The number of burials outgrew the space available and since then, the older human remains began to be stored in the chapel’s basement. A half-blind monk was given the task to organize the bones, so he started piling up the bones in the chapel’s corners.

These creative arrangements are nowadays still visible and make this chapel very unique. ...... (follow the instructions below for accessing the rest of this article).
