EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the eerie beauty of Capela dos Ossos (Bones Chapel) in the Sao Francisco church, located in Evora, Portugal. The chapel is a hauntingly unique attraction that showcases thousands of human bones and skulls intricately arranged on its walls and pillars. As you gaze at this image, you can't help but be drawn into the macabre atmosphere created by the skeletal remains surrounding you. Each bone tells a story, reminding us of our mortality and urging us to contemplate life's fleeting nature. Evora itself is a UNESCO World Heritage Site known for its rich history and well-preserved medieval architecture. This photo perfectly encapsulates the juxtaposition between the town's quaint charm and the chilling presence of Capela dos Ossos. The photographer, Mauricio Abreu, has masterfully captured both the grandeur and solemnity of this historic site. The play of light and shadow adds depth to each bone-filled nook while highlighting their intricate details. Whether you are fascinated by history or simply seeking an unforgettable travel experience, Capela dos Ossos is sure to leave an indelible mark on your memory. It serves as a poignant reminder that even in death, there is beauty to be found – if only we have eyes to see it.
