Because of its aesthetic uniqueness, the Capela dos Ossos de Campo Maior is one of the most important and original examples of Christian funerary art in Portugal. Little is known of the construction of the Bones Chapel itself, which was probably promoted around 1766 by the Confraria das Almas de Campo Maior.
This chapel is closely linked to an unmissable historical episode: the explosion of the castle warehouse by a lightning strike, after which half of the village was destroyed, counting 316 dead and about 2 thousand wounded according to local records.
