The bone chapel was really neat.


I was upset that I didn't have enough time to see Evora when I was over there. It looks like there is a ton of stuff to see. The bone chapel reminded me a lot of a place I saw in Rome. Really spooky.

I went to that one in Rome last summer, and I'm really intrigued by these. Both are really interesting, yet very different. The Capuchin bone chapel in Rome is really like 8-12 smaller chapels decorated and devoted to a specific thing. The Rome chapel was a bit more "creepy" in that the different bones were used to make chandeliers and different decorations. The chapel in Evora was one big chapel. Both had a very different story and meaning behind them, which is incredible.

If I remember correctly, the motto in Rome is, "What you are, we once were. What we are, you will be."
