Chapel Of Bones
Small interior chapel located next to the entrance of the São Francisco Church (1474 - 1550's), Évora, Portugal
The chapel gets its name because the interior walls are covered and decorated with about 5.000 human skulls and bones taken from cemeteries in churches and convents. It was built by a Franciscan monk who wanted to prod his fellow brothers into contemplation and transmit the message of life being transitory.
