The Ascent into the Catacombs

These are the early Christian catacombs carved into the rockface above the church cemetary. The final communal crypt LIV (by the catacombs) contains the body of Mozart's sister, Nannerl, an exceptionally gifted musician herself, and the torso of Joseph Haydn's younger brother, Michael (his head is in an urn stored in St. Peter's). Pretty creepy huh!!!
