Description

Capela dos Ossos, located within the Church of São Francisco in Évora, is one of the city's most famous monuments. Built in the 17th century, its walls and columns are lined with thousands of human bones and skulls, sourced from local cemeteries. The chapel was created by Franciscan monks to convey a message about the transience of life, as symbolized by the haunting inscription at the entrance: "We bones that here are, for yours await." This space offers a striking and spiritual experience, attracting many visitors interested in its unique and thought-provoking history.
