The Catacombs of Paris are underground ossuaries that house the remains of more than six million people beneath the streets of Paris, France. Originally the site of stone quarries, the ossuaries were developed to address the city's overflowing cemeteries in the 1700s. The complex network of tunnels and passageways stretch approximately 280 km beneath Paris, making the catacombs one of the largest grave sites in the world.
