“Capela dos Ossos” in Portuguese means bone chapel, this is an important tourist destination that should not be missed when visiting Portugal. Built in the late XVI century (1738) by a friar Franciscan with the purpose of conveying the message "life is transient". Capela dos Ossos was created based on the design of Ossa alla San Bernadino chapel by architect Carlo Giuseppe Merlo in Milan - Italy.
The chapel's walls and pillars are built from 5,000 skeletons and monks' skulls
Inside were two dried corpses hanging from ropes dangling from the wall, next to a cross. According to the story, it is the bones of an adulterous man and a young child, the result of this affair. Both he and the innocent child must receive appropriate punishment from the jealous wife.
