    The number of human skeletons is estimated at around 5,000 and comes from cemeteries and churches in the area, where Franciscan monks were often buried. Many of these skulls are inscribed with the name of the deceased—a truly impressive experience. The inscription above the entrance reads:
    "We bones who lie here wait until we get yours."
