A must-see for anyone visiting Évora. Its morbid charm is fascinating, and the thousands upon thousands of bones serve as a reminder of one's own mortality. On the ceiling, you can discover various paintings and sayings about death and dying, and I would never have imagined how decoratively the bones were arranged in the chapel.
