My experience

Just East of Prague lies the town of Kutna Hora, whose star attraction is the slightly macabre Sedlec Ossuary.

The Roman Catholic chapel is decorated with the bones of upwards of 60,000 people — a rather grisly but strangely compelling sight.

The centrepiece is a chandelier made entirely from bones and skulls.
