Chapel of Bones

The Chapel of Bones is a unique and intriguing attractions. It is a small chapel attached to the Church of St. Francis (Igreja de São Francisco) and is known for its macabre interior decoration.The chapel was built in the 16th century by Franciscan monks, with the purpose of conveying the message of life's transience and the importance of reflecting on mortality. The walls and pillars of the chapel are completely covered in human bones, creating a rather eerie and somber atmosphere.The bones used in the chapel are believed to be from around 5,000 monks. The remains were exhumed from nearby cemeteries due to lack of space and then carefully arranged to form intricate patterns and designs. Skulls are used as decorative elements, and there is even a creepy inscription above the entrance that translates to "We bones that are here await yours."Visiting the Chapel of Bones can be a thought-provoking experience.
