The Catacombs of Paris are an extensive network of underground ossuaries located beneath the streets of Paris, France. Housing the remains of over six million people, these catacombs were created in the late 18th century as a solution to the city's overflowing cemeteries. The labyrinthine tunnels, which stretch for miles, were originally part of limestone quarries dating back to Roman times.
