[Portugal] Évora Ossuary: A unique attraction where you can experience the cycle of life and death

The Chapel of Bones in Évora, Portugal is a truly unique and fascinating place, unlike any other religious building you may encounter. Imagine walking into a chapel where every surface is adorned with thousands of human bones and arm bones. Arm bones peer down from the vaults above, femurs form arches, and ribs line the walls in a macabre yet strangely beautiful mosaic. Visiting the Ossuary is a sobering experience. It powerfully reminds us of our own mortality and encourages contemplation of the cycle of life, death, and eternal existence. #2024TravelWish
