Yes, this world-class crypt has become a tourist attraction, but you can't say it's not also for locals, you'll find plenty here. Thousands of townspeople from past centuries, many mummified and wearing their Sunday best, have been laid to rest in this macabre but moving crypt, which is easily one of the best catacombs in Europe. It's rare to get such an up close feeling for everyday people from the past. If you get over your fears of entering this curious place, you'll not only experience one of the most gratifying activities in town, you'll likely be all the more grateful for the rest of the day you have in front of you.
