For the entrance fee of 5 € you get the unique opportunity to see an ossuary. It used to be an honor here to be so closely connected to the church buildings with one's bones. Skulls, thigh bones, and pelvic bones are piled up everywhere. Not for everyone, but while you're here, take the chance.

Next to the entrance of the Gothic-Baroque Igreja de São Francisco is the Capela dos Ossos. Because the inner walls of the small chapel are covered with human skulls and bones, it got its name: the "Chapel of Bones".

Upon entering you are greeted with the saying "our bones that are here are waiting for yours".
