            That's pretty cool actually.

            I saw something similar in Austria.

            I guess when you live surrounded by death, a few skulls as decoration don't really bother.

                I've been there. It was actually really impressive. It was surprisingly not creepy, I wasn't scared. Of course, i was surrounded by other tourists...

                I think the technical term is an ossuary.

                    I think it's pretty neat.

                      Austria has quite a few "charnel houses" that look a lot like that, only much less elaborate. I believe the practice stemmed from a premium on ground to dig graves, but it's no longer done. While rather macabre to us moderns, as you say, it probably wasn't as strange to people of the day.

                        I'm not saying it's not neat, just that it's still pretty creepy, neat or not. My mom and brother were there a few years ago, and brought back picture postcards, of all things.

                          That is rather macabre...

                            If nothing else it's a testament of their conviction. I wonder if they just left the carcasses to rot in their robes or if they let them rot first then placed them. And if the decapitated heads were first rid of any flesh. I would suspect a rather foul smell and a rat problem otherwise.
