The white bones were not too different from the general decorations. Upstairs there are paintings of religions, and other artworks, and you can also go to the platform on the top of the church to see the panoramic view of Evora."Evora504m from downtownHighlights: Discovered in 1958 as part of the Church of San Francisco, the Ossuary is one of the most mysterious sights in Portugal. The church has 5,000 skulls and hundreds of broken bones affixed to the 16th-century walls, collected from a nearby cemetery. In the dark chapel, the two walls and eight hall columns of the church are completely inlaid with human bones. The church expresses the epigram that "life is too short", only God and religion are eternal.Show Less - 5.34.6/536 Reviewbased on 2204 reviews"Built in the 12th century, Evura is the tallest building in the town of Evura, surrounded by gray granite, a museum with wonderful cloisters and church treasures, and a masterpiece of sculpture master Mestepero."Evora579m from downtownHighlights: Built in the 12th century, the Cathedral of Evora is a Roman Gothic cathedral, a museum with wonderful cloisters and ecclesiastical treasures. The church is shown with a marble exterior, and its sturdy structure is more like a fortress, with a pair of imposing asymmetrical bell towers blessing left and right. The main entrance of the church is decorated with apostles carved in the 14th century. The internal altar and marble high platform are more sublime and solemn, and the frescoes in the dome show the admirable theology of Alentejo. Follow the stairs to the roof of the church, you can enjoy the whole view of the old town of Évora.Show Less
