What travelers say:

The burial site of the skeleton, known as the "cave", was established in the late eighteenth century, the place called Izuwar ((Tumbe-Isova) cemetery, formerly an abandoned underground quarry, dating back to the fifteenth century. The Holy Spirit Cemetery was closed in 1780 at the request of the city government. By a resolution of the Parliament in 1777, the mining department was established to protect and consolidate the Paris underground buildings, and to select and plan the site for the dead bones. Slowly, the bones of all the cemeteries in the center of Paris were transferred to these ancient limestone quarryes. Especially when the Ottoman mayor organized the construction of the city, the construction of the earth, the bone transfer work continued until 1860. From the beginning of the 19th century, the catacombs were open to the public, which caused everyone's curiosity and attracted more and more tourists. I was worried that the atmosphere in the cemetery was depressed. Maybe scare yourself. I thought it would be scary, but it was part of us. After the visit, the view of death was even more different.
