Paris catacombs - The Crossroad of Death (2)

3D Model

The Crossroad of Death (in French: Le Carrefour des Morts) is one of the most impressive places out of the 200 miles of galleries, rooms and chambers. It’s made of two curved tunnel travels completely around, forming a rotunda with passages radiating from it in a wheel-spoke fashion.

The area is full of bones and some other galeries are still around, sealed forever. Thousands of bodies from where moved here from different origins: anonymous graves of the Montparnasse cemetery (above), bodies found during road work in Paris, and a cholera epidemic.

An estimated six million dead bodies lie in the catacombs of Paris.
