Kutna Hora

Not once in my single life I have had a so significant creative thought: decorating a room with bones. That is what Franktisek Rindt employed by the duke of Schwartzenberg did with the 40000 people's bones that were stored in the chapel since the XIV century. The piece of art as it is described in its own website is something really macabre. Skulls and legs bones forming a quite attractive chandelier, more skulls in the middle and "simple" bones in the extremes of the room. Everything structured as if we were in a chess game, everything still but almost everything will die in the board in order to win.

A colleague in my work told me that he was not really shocked when he was there, maybe because he had had a bottle of absinthe before entering the site. However, if I had done so, I assure you that my visit would have been tragic.

Apart from the Ossuary, Kutna Hora is a really impressive place a little bellow of the welcoming arrogance of Cesky Krumlov. It has some beautiful buildings like the cathedral and some nice pictures from below the hill it was constructed. Nice day trip from Prague, undoubtedly.
