PARIS CATACOMBS
the Catacombes de Paris are home to the bones of over six million late Pari-sians. Its narrow subterranean passageways date back to the 13th century, when they were used to mine the limestone that helped build the city.
By the late 18th cen-tury, these old quarries were beginning to collapse under the weight of a rapidly expanding Paris.
At the same time, the cemeteries at the center French capital were faced with overcrowding. The catacombs were seen as a solution that would solve both problems.
Moving old remains underground into the mines prevented them from collapse and eased crowding at the cemeteries.
The catacombs have been a site of fascination ever since they opened in the early 19th century and remain open today as one of the city's most unique at-tractions.
