Trip to Kostnice Sedlec (a.k.a Bone Church)

Kostnice_Sedlec
I saw the sick side of the Czech's this weekend. Small Czech town "Kutna Hora" which is 1 hour far away from Prague, has a church decorated and furnished by real human bones. Nearly 50.000 human bones!

Cos i am damn lazy, you can check this page for the whole story of the chapel.
What's interesting (Ok. it's not interesting anymore, i am used to it) that, in this chapel there is a coat of arms created with human bones in which you can see a crow eats the eye of a Turkish soldier's skull. They say that this symbolizes their victory over Turks. (Lieeeeeeee!!! :) )
