Sobre
Fatos rápidos: Este local abriga restos de mais de 8.000 monges e cidadãos mumificados exibidos em catacumbas distintas. Visitantes podem ver corpos perfeitamente preservados vestidos com suas roupas originais, oferecendo um vislumbre cru dos costumes funerários de séculos atrás.
Destaques: Visitantes passam por filas de esqueletos e múmias elaboradamente decoradas, organizadas por famílias, profissões e classes sociais, criando uma história visual assustadora e fascinante. A atmosfera arrepiante é reforçada pelo silêncio frio e sussurrante e pelo leve cheiro de terra antiga e resina, fazendo você sentir como se entrasse em uma cápsula do tempo sob a cidade.
