Bones, bones and more bones in this Chapel of bones in Évora.
A sobering message above the entrance of this Chapel says ‘We bones here, for yours await’.
Built in the latter half of the 17th century, the walls of this morbid chapel are made up of thousands of skulls, femurs, humeri, and more. The chapel was designed to act as a reminder of the human transition between life and death, and as you wander around the small room the bones staring back at you do nothing but that.
Many thanks for your views, comments, and FAV’s. They are very much appreciated.
Good one though.
