Santuario di San Bernardino alle Ossa

Impressive place, interesting for the Catholic iconography and attractive architecture. Always interesting to see the difference between Catholic churches and Protestant places. Domed roof rather attractive. Free to enter and look around. Quiet inside. Good place to sit. Steady stream of tourists but not too busy generally.

Wow, what an interesting experience. The Church of the ones is a must see when visiting Milan. About 10 minutes walk from the Duomo but well worth it!

It is close to the Duomo. The ossuary is not big, but fascinating. The ceiling is nicely painted. The walls are decorated with human bones and skulls. The atmosphere is not crowded.

As with every church I stumbled on in Milan, the inside was absolutely breathtaking. So many intricate details and beautiful art adorning the walls and ceiling. A nice, lighter breath of fresh air compared to the other sanctuary room a few steps away… But you cannot miss the other room! It’s macabre and fascinating all at once. The sheer number of bones on the walls was enough to make me shudder. A fascinating experience.

A hidden gem that many tourists don’t know about — a beautiful ossuary just five minutes from the Duomo Square. Definitely worth a visit. Free entry

Must-visit church in Milan. Very eerie and mysterious atmosphere, with walls full of skulls and bones. You’re allowed to take pictures inside—just make sure to avoid using flash.

The San Bernardino alle Ossa Sanctuary is one of the most fascinating and unusual places in Milan. The small chapel filled with human bones creates a powerful, almost mystical atmosphere that leaves a lasting impression. It’s not a typical tourist attraction, but definitely worth a visit if you want to experience something truly unique and a bit eerie, away from the usual sightseeing paths.

You should visit here to see the skull collection in the church. We find it quite interesting why a church has such a collection. Is it to scare or make people to think of their precious time in the world or remind them of the death or the Creator? It is free and everyone should visit this place to question and observe.
