Subjects : Ossuary Sedlec: small chapel adorned with the bones of the villagers, the dead of the plague in the fourteenth century. The wood carver Frantiek Rint was commissioned by the nobleman Schwarzenberg, then owner of the land (ca 1800), to beautify the chapel. The artist's creative energy led him to use the bones of 40,000 dead as friezes and arabeschi.Dentro the small church you will find the entrance to the two glasses of bones, in the central room the famous chandelier constructed using at least once every bone human body. As you enter, on the right wall, you can see the "signature" with the artist date, also strictly bone. Impressive crest of noble family played in ossa.Il small town offers other monuments, but the Sedlec Ossuary is certainly the most fascinating.

Recommended equipment : Possibly a tripod, apparently chiesetta.Data accepted in the uniqueness of the structure, each lens can give satisfaction, in any case we recommend an ND filter to attenuate the amount of tourists who crowd the monument with a long exposure.
