Catacombs of Paris - 1/2

The Catacombs of Paris is a famous burial place in Paris. It is a network of subterranean tunnels and rooms located in what were Roman-era limestone quarries. The quarries were converted into a mass tomb near the end of the 18th century. It is most widely known as "the catacombs", but the official title is "les carrières de Paris" or "the quarries of Paris." Subway station : Denfert-Rochereau
