    1h · Admission ticket not included
    The Bones Chapel is one of the most famous monuments of Évora, in Portugal. It is located in the Church of San Francisco. It was built in the 17th century on the initiative of three Franciscan monks who, in the spirit of the time (religious counterrevolution, according to the norms of the Council of Trent), intended to convey the message of the transience of life, as can be seen from the famous warning at the entrance: "We bones here we are waiting for you." Besides the spiritual question, there was also a physical question, which is; there were in the region of Évora forty-two monastic cemeteries that were occupying too much space and strategic places that many intended to use for other purposes. Thus, they decided to remove the skeletons of the earth and use them to construct and to decorate the chapel.

In the 15th and 16th centuries, the cathedral received major improvements, dating back to that time the choir, pulpit, baptistery and arch of the chapel of Nossa Senhora da Piedade, also known as Chapel of the Esporão, a rare example of Plateresque hybrid architecture, dated 1529.
