Church of St. Francis and the Chapel of Bones

One of the creepiest sites in Portugal, the bone chapel connected to the gold-leafed church, is literally lined with bones. Bones (including skulls) cover the walls and were placed there in the 15th century by some arguably macabre monks. The message on the entrance says “We bones in here wait for yours to join us”…
