The Chapel of Bones, known in Portuguese as Capela dos Ossos, is an unusual chapel located inside the Church of São Francisco, dating back to the 16th century.

The walls, pillars, and ceiling are adorned with these bones, producing a striking and somber setting.The original purpose of the Chapel of Bones was to remind visitors of the transience of life and the inevitability of death. An inscription at the entrance captures this message perfectly: “We bones that are here, for yours we wait.” It is a place where spirituality and reflection intertwine in a truly unique way.
