Paris / Holy Innocents' Cemetery and Church / circa 1550 / 3D Reconstruction

History of Paris / Funeral Architecture. View of the Holy Innocents' Cemetery and Church in Paris, circa 1550. (The Holy Innocents' Cemetery (French: Cimetière des Saints-Innocents or Cimetière des Innocents) is a defunct cemetery in Paris that was used from the Middle Ages until the late 18th century. It was the oldest and largest cemetery in Paris and had often been used for mass graves. It was closed because of overuse in 1780, and in 1786 the remaining corpses were exhumed and transported to the unused subterranean quarries near Montparnasse known as the Catacombs. The cemetery and the church (now also disappeared) took their names referring to the Biblical Massacre of the Innocents). 3D Reconstruction, 2017.
