Chapel of Bones (Évora)
This chapel is one of the most unusual and memorable places you’ll ever step into. Built in the 16th century by Franciscan monks, the walls and pillars are covered with thousands of human bones and skulls. The idea was to remind everyone that life is short and to reflect on the meaning of existence. It’s a real-life memento mori, and the atmosphere is both eerie and fascinating.
