Steeped in history and spirituality, this unique chapel is adorned with human bones and skulls, serving as a haunting reminder of our mortality. The composition of the image perfectly captures the solemn atmosphere within the vaulted space. The play of light and shadows adds an ethereal quality to the scene, enhancing its spiritual significance. The intricate details on each bone are visible, showcasing both the craftsmanship and reverence that went into creating this macabre masterpiece. Evora's Chapel of Bones holds great cultural significance as it stands as a testament to Christian beliefs surrounding death and salvation.
