A Unique and Thought-Provoking Experience. Capela dos Os Capela dos Ossos, also known as the Chapel of Bones, is a truly captivating and thought-provoking site. The chapel, adorned with human bones and skulls, offers a glimpse into the fascinating history and mortality of humanity. The atmosphere inside is solemn and eerie, yet it serves as a powerful reminder of our own impermanence. The intricate bone displays and macabre architecture make for a hauntingly beautiful sight. While it may not be for the faint of heart, Capela dos Ossos is an extraordinary and unforgettable attraction, providing a unique perspective on life and death. Highly recommended for those seeking an unconventional and contemplative experience.

This is a unique chapel “lined” by bones and skulls. It may not be suitable for all ages but definitely help visitors to reflect about life and our own journey on earth….that one day we will face death as well. Along with the chapel, there are other exhibits as well.

I was expecting something bigger to be honest. The price is a bit high for something that takes you 5min to see. You have access to a small museum though, to the rooftop of the church and to temporary exhibitions (it was the nativity represented around the world when I visited). Ticket is 5e for adults, 3.5 for students. You can pay by card only from 10e.

A simply amazing place in Évora! Definitely, a must on the list of any traveler. The chapel is beyond impressive and it's unique. The pictures speak for themselves. If you have an issue with seeing bones and death, heads up, there are also mummies exposed there and there are bones all over the walls.

What a interesting place to visit. Literally a chapel built with the remains of thousands plastered into the walls a a memorial to how short life is. History shows a church founded by the Franciscans in 1200. The nativity’s from around the world were a sight to see.

It is an interesting place to visit in Evora, it definitely is something different I have not seen anywhere else. The Chapel of Bones is a small chapel built with bones and skulls on the columns and on the walls all around. Visiting the Chapel gives a good reminder about the fact that everything is temporary and the explanations in the chapel help give more context about it. When we visited there were also two mummies of a dad and a son. Included in the ticket you also have an exhibition about the Nativity around the world. Overall I would say that this is an interesting site and definitely if you are in Evora I would recommend stopping by.

Not recommended for children who are too young. This is a chapel with bones from 5000 people adorning the walls and columns. Part of the museum tour with ticket cost Euro 6. A unique experience.

A fascinating place to visit, with the ticket including the chapel and a small exhibition outlining the history of Evora. The story behind the chapel itself was interesting

Very somber but beautiful visit. Go early or in the afternoon to avoid the crowds. It is a quick visit. The ticket includes a museum and is reasonably priced.

Everywhere there is written that’s an unmissable spot and.. couldn’t agree more! The inscription at the entrance gives already chills. And the interiors are really ground for reflection about life and death. Beautiful in a creepy way. Definitely take the time to go and visit it.

The Capela dos Ossos is one of the most visited places in Evora. For me, It was a mix of feelings, scary and impressive. It was built by Franciscan monks. An estimated 5,000 corpses were exhumed to decorate the walls of the chapel. The bones, which came from ordinary people who were buried in Évora's medieval cemeteries, were arranged by the Franciscans in a variety of patterns

Very much impressed with the chapel of bones. Highly recommend to visit. In addition there are a special exhibition of personal collections of nativity from all around world. Personally it was so much interesting that i can see all different cultural presentations.

Do not miss this! The chapel was an incredible site! I’ve never seen anything like it. And the church next door is majestic and captivating as well.

Expected more but it’s different then anything I have ever seen. I can’t believe they actually used human bones in the making of this chapel. Some of the artifacts like the picture of the cup are over 1,000 years old. The history in these old countries never ceases to amaze me.

The ticket cost around 6 euros per person including the museum and the Chapel of Bones. It's quite an experience to see the master mind of architecture of the chapel using real human bones. (If you are a sensitive person, it might be overwhelming). The museum contains valuable historic paintings and statues of the Catholic church history.

Apart from the bone chapel - which is interesting enough - the rest of the museum has a very cheerful nativity exposition which is really enjoyable. The terrace also has a nice view over Evora.The adjacent church is beautiful (free entrance).

The Chapel of Bones itself is very small. It is a single room where most people will spend 5 minutes. It's fascinating and a grim reminder of everyone's mortality. For the entrance fee, this chapel alone wouldn't be worth it, but the fee also allows access to other areas and displays throughout the church, including hundreds of nativity scenes from around the world, and a small museum with artifacts. My family and I spent an hour or two in these other areas, and we felt it was very much worthwhile for both the time and the entrance fee.

A provoking chapel with bones and skulls all over the walls and pillars. This is an encredible place and is really thought provoking. Besides skulls and bones on the walls there are also two mummies in the chapel. The roof of the chapel is also beautifully decorated. The entrance to the Chapel of Bones and the museum is just 6 euros and is well worth it, there was practically no wait for the tickets. When we visited it was a bit busy but at some times calm. Besides this you also have access to the museum with Christian paintings/religious art and many nativity scenes.

Kinda cramped. An interesting experience nonetheless. There are like five museums on the location, with each providing their own unique expositions. The collection of Natividad figures was noteworthy.

A weird and wonderful place to visit. The entire chapel is made from the skulls and bones of previous residents. Also a nice museum upstairs with some unusual statues.

This unusual chapel makes you reflect about death. Great local tour guides provide interesting facts. Make sure you read the vignettes with the background information.

The Chapel of Bones, Evora Portugal is a truly unique and fascinating spot, unlike any other religious building you are likely to encounter. Imagine stepping into a small chapel, every surface intricately decorated with thousands of human bones and sculls. Sculls stare down from the vault above, femurs form arches and ribs line the walls crating a macabre yet oddly beautiful mosaic. Visiting the Chapel of Bones is a thought provoking experience. It’s a powerful reminder of our own mortality and encourages contemplation on life, death, and the eternal cycle of existence.

Not the same memory of it as it was many, many years ago. Tourism massification has also altered the arrangement of the chapel. Now there is a glass protection around its center and it looks less eerie than before. Still the walls and parts of the ceilings covered in bones and skulls are impressive and scary.

One of my favourite monuments in Portugal, a grim yet beautiful reminder of our mortality. The entry includes visiting the museum, which is also reccomend for both its historic religious pieces and their collection of nativity scenes from all over

An amazingly interesting site! The bone chapel is just a small part of the entire property. I believe it was €10, which for us, was worth it! It’s like nothing you’ve ever seen before!! We purchased tickets on site and there was no wait during a weekend at in June.

It is in the city center. The chapel totally saddened me when I saw the bones and skulls everywhere in the walls. Historical empathy is seriously needed to be able to understand such an approach. You have to buy a ticket for entrance. 6 euros, we paid. The chapel is near the church.

Amazing experience coming to see the chapel of the bones. A bit macabre for sure, but the Franciscan monks in the 16th century thought this was appropriate since the local cemeteries were being reclaimed and they were trying to save the bones.

It was unique and very interesting chapel. Tickets were cheap. We didn't wait as it was empty. I'm not sure if it's the same during weekends. The only problem is that it's too far from Lisbon so you must have s car to get there.

Lots of history in this city. Chapel of bones was interesting as well as seeing their old water system that ran through the city, as well as cathedrals.

While it's very impressive to see the remains of this ancient temple still standing 2,000 years after it was built, there's not much to it. It's just this structure. Don't get me wrong, I love the town of Evora. It is adorable, but the temple alone is not that impressive.

Very iconic but, in total honesty, not much is left of it. Can't match other Roman ruins of bigger dimension and better preserved. Still, a powerful landmark in a lovely ancient city.

Beautiful ruins of the Roman temple which are located close to the city centre and Evora Cathedral. There is a small outside cafe near to it if you would like to relax nearby. What is missing? History and story behind this monument. There is a small board with information that it was built about 2,000 years ago and most probably was dedicated to the Roman goddess Diana. But these few details are not enough to submerge yourself more into this city thousands of years ago and feel it’s atmosphere. I think there could have been more information on how the city looked like back then, what was the life like, who were the citizens? Why the Cathedral was built so close to the Temple? Unfortunately, I stayed with too many unanswered questions (leaving me a bit annoyed and unsatisfied because I couldn’t find more information online 🤓)

Love coming back to this place. Brings me childhood memories. It’s incredible to see such an old structure embedded in the middle of this amazing city, inspiring with its presence for centuries. There is no Évora without its ex-libris 🤩

The ruins are very beautiful and makes you think about our culture and heritage a lot. There's a park around it and also a little café which pairs up nicely, you can stop for a refreshing drink and enjoy the view. Nothing really that much to see since the ruins are pretty high and you can't get that close up, but overall a nice place for some pics.

Beautiful Roman ancient ruine in the middle of the Évora. The history of the monument is also interesting, if was used as a castle tower and later as a slaughter house. The current state of the ruine of the temple is nice. You can see the entrance to the altar. You cannot enter the temple.

A must visit when you are in Evora. The temple is still in fairly good condition. Access is best by foot but it's possible to reach it by car, parking might be hard to find.

This is a nice spot to sit on a late summer afternoon and soak up some sun. The ruin is impressive, and it's right next to the Museum do Frei Manuelo do Cenáculo and very near the Cathedral of Evora.

Fascinating to see such an ancient structure. Located at a square in one of the highest points in Évora, it is surrounded by other historic structures, an excellent winery / restaurant and a lovely park overlooking the countryside (from which you can see the viaduct in the distance.)

One of the main sights of Evora. The ruins are impressive but there is not much to look at. There are a few more things of interest in nearby though (restaurants, a little park, museums and the cathedral).

This is an ancient Roman ruin. It's small, but beautiful nonetheless. You cannot access the inside of the temple, though still worth a visit as it sits in the middle of this ancient city, right next to the cathedral, and well within easy walking distance of many other areas of interest. Right next to the temple is a small park with a coffee and sandwich stand if you need a nice area to have a snack. I don't often get to have lunch while sitting in a park next to temple ruins. There isn't a lot to see here, but if you're in Evora to see other places anyway, I don't see why you wouldn't stop by here.

Well preserved roman ruins much enjoyed by a history buff like myself.

Absolutely breathtaking! To be able to feel as though you with history in a single moment. Our family were the only people there to be in that moment.... with that history.... Absolutely incredible! Yes, I know I look like a dork. But it's better than the emotional pic I had a few minutes later.

Good to visit if you are passing through else not really worth a day trip from Lisbon Can easily get Uber from train station to go into town

Incredible that this Roman temple is as preserved as it is, right in the middle of a town square! Best of all, it is right in front of the Pousada hotel. What could be more convenient?! Also: there is no entry fee, but there is no entry. Just walk along the base and take your picture!

Beautiful monument in the centre of Evora. Als a small parque with a coffee. Nearby there are public toilets.

Beautiful place. This ruin is original, not a reconstruction! Those Romans could build!

This Roman temple is very well preserved, and is truly a sight to behold. The lights make it look beautiful at night, a must-visit location if you're nearby. It's also located right next to the cathedral, so you can visit simultaneously.

We came there by taxi, since it'd have taken too long with a bus. It's worth it, especially in a clear day. The view is pretty much all across the metropolitan area of Lisbon. €6 to get up with the elevator and then a staircase. The employees there are OK, not so friendly, but do their best to ensure order and answer questions in English. "God is love" is written in different languages, meaningful for those who believe, I assume.

There's a public parking lot and some street parking when you go here. We didn't know until we got to the top of the hill so don't make the same mistake we did as it was quite a walk. We waited in line for a long time but the view was worth the wait. Nice view of Lisbon. Tickets are bought right before you enter (when you get to the front of the line). Adults are 8€ and it's cash only.

Incredible place with spectacular view! There is an elevator and the ticket costs 8 euro. There is a convenient transport from the city center and the bus stop is only 5 minutes away.

Nice and peaceful place, worth visiting with stunning view. Ticket up to see Jesus closer is 6€. Opened from 10am easily accessible from the city center by bus. Good café just below the statue as well. Whole place is easily accessible for everybody.

A fun stop to make when visiting Lisbon. Admission is 6 euros for adults and 3 euros for children. They only take cash and there is no need to buy tickets in advance. There is a quick elevator ride which takes you near the top. You then climb two flights of stairs to reach the observation deck which has some amazing views. Upon leaving the observation deck you literally must exit through a gift shop just underneath the statue. There are at least two chapels on site.

Spectacular monument!! We didn’t go to the top but a nice area where you can walk on the grounds and have a fantastic view of Lisbon! Would definitely recommend visiting even for an hour or so. Toilets are clean. We took the bus 753 and walked for 12minutes to get there but you can get the ferry over which is quicker.

Very good place! The Christ is very nice and in general the whole place is beautiful. I believe going up to the christ statue is not worth it because you would get to have the same views from the ground floor. The view of Lisbon is astonishing, it may be a bit far from the city but if you have time go for it!

If you visit Lisbon must take ride across bridge and what you see from here will be breathtaking. Monument and view from there is best. Ticket to go up but but this is must. Best photo opportunity here.

This place was super cool! I was reading some of the history of it and it was inspired by the bigger statue in Rio de Janeiro in Brazil. The Portuguese built this because they were thankful that God spared Portugal during WW2. you get a breath taking view of Lisbon. And if you choose to go to the top of the statue, it's $8 euro per person and it's cash only.

Very easy and cheap to get to from central Lisbon. The ferry is frequent, as is the bus on the other side. The statue with its huge plinth is very imposing, though, from close quarters at any rate, not such as to inspire devotion (not in me, anyway!). Really, the most impressive aspect is the amazing view. Access is reasonable, though there are a lot of stairs to climb. There are toilets close by and a nice cafe with plenty of seating in the shade. Get there early to avoid the crowds.

Cristo Rei is an amazing statue in Lisbon. It's really tall and you can see the whole city from there. Inside, it's pretty and calm, and there's a cool history to learn about. You can easily get there by car or bus. Take the elevator to the top for the best views.

Such a stunning place. You don't realise how large it is from across the river. It is on the hill so it's a hard walk up. There are buses up that stop just outside. I recommend going up the lift as the views are amazing.

If its the first time visiting Portugal you should go to this monument! The view is astonishing. It takes a 30 min travel by bus to the area of the monument. And you need a ticket to get to the final level of the statue.

Phenomenal structure dedicated to the Christian faith, that is located near the water and overlooks the beautiful bridge that goes into the main city of Lisbon. Tickets are 8 euros and well worth the price. The tickets are easy to get in the bottom floor office and there is a small cafe and gift shop outside. The elevator is a great addition to the structure. There are a few more steps after the elevator ride that you need to be aware of. You can take pictures from the very top and you have a 360 view of all that Lisboa had to offer and gaze upon.

Honestly, it's not worth it. The views from the viewing platform are great, but it with the constant queueing (for the tickets, then for the lift, them to exit via the gift shop and finally for the lift again). Something that could take 5/10 minutes takes around an hour. And that's from an afternoon visit in February. I can't imagine the hell it would be if busy

Superb place with a great view. You can have a look at the bridge which connects east and west Lisbon and far away the Atlantic Ocean. It was so windy that one can find it difficult to hold a mobile for taking pictures. For further great view one can go to the top by shelling 8 euros. Ample of parking space available with a cafeteria serving great coffee.

Great journey using public transport of ferry and bus. Fabulous place. Lovely gardens to walk around. Didn't go up because the queue was very long. However the views are incredible and a lovely peaceful atmosphere in the gardens.

Great views, we got a tuk tuk from the ferry terminal as no buses were running. It takes quite a while to get access to the lifts but the views are worth it

It was pretty a lOng but beautiful journey to reach here. We came by bus and enjoyed the view of the bridge. You can also reach there by taxi or even a fairy. It was a stormy and rainy day, and this is the reason for not seeing too many people there. We did not go up for the upper view as down there. The view was amazing. It's just that if there were more cafes or restaurants around this monument, it would be great. The road which leads to this moment is not also very delightful, and I suppose they have forgotten to make some effort for this part of Lisbon. Otherwise, we enjoyed our short visit there and were happy to see this monument.

It's located in Câmara Municipal, but currently is closed due to internal works. Be careful, lot of photos are taken form other places.

Cool but not much information given on it. If in Evora check it out but I wouldn’t go out of my way to come see it.

Maps say they are open 24 hrs, but they were closed when I went there at 12:45pm on Friday. A lot of city sites close for a long lunch. Many comments here confuse this "roman house" for the "roman baths" which are a couple blocks away. https://maps.app.goo.gl/UyDmf54QFuLr2Cze6

I strongly recommend paying these a visit. They are located in the town hall and I suggest having a look around and picking up a free guide pamphlet. They are free to see and are quite interesting. Be aware that there is a limited amount on show and limited information to take in, so expect only a 10 minute visit.

Inside the town hall you can visit an archeological discovery, the ruins of a Roman bath. From the ground level separated by glass you can see the bath that is located beneath the current ground level, quite impressive.

It is currently closed due to renovations on the building (as per May 2023). So check in advance.

It's inside a building with offices, no informations about it and difficult to find. Could be worth more with some work.

You have different tickets going from 3 to 5 euros depending on which part you wanna visit. I visited the cloister (lower and upper level), the cathedral, and the rooftop. It give nice views on the city but the cathedral has nothing really exceptional. I would still recommend to do it if you are visiting Evora.

Excellent stop in Evora. Great value and very easy to burn an hour or more. Splendid variety of views, artifacts and experiences. Even the most jaded tourists, like me, can admit this is a highlight of any trip to the region.

Very interesting church with beautiful features. Visit to the rooftop (“tower”) is a highlight not to be skipped.

Worth the visit both inside and outside. A must for Gothic lovers but you will find Renaissance and baroque too inside those old walls. The view from the terrace is beautiful and the museum has a nice collection of religious art. The church itself is a wonder. Take at least an hour for this visit you will not regret it!

Nice cathedral, you can get up on the roof and enjoy the views. Was definetely worth the entry fee. You als find other museums, parks and sights nearby, which makes this place a great stop if you visit Evora.

This is a beautiful cathedral, located at the centre of town. You can access the roof of the building and as the cathedral is situated on the peak of the local geography, there are fantastic views of the whole town. Tickets are very reasonably priced, and there is also a "treasure room" to view, which houses many artifacts. No photos are allowed here, which was fine for us. We enjoyed our time here and it was worth a couple hours of our time.

Cathedral is a very nice place to visit!! Of course you have to pay 4€ (student price) to get in put the view from the roof top totally worth it. The museum was not something special but the church and the court yard are beautiful!!

Great architecture. Amazing views. Religious art and relics on display in the treasury is not impressive to me, but it also speaks of the power of believing and the business that goes with it.

A visit to this cathedral is a must when visiting Evora. While the cathedral is nice, ir's not something extrordinary. Instead a visit to the roof is an adventure on itself as the winding stairs go up and diwn at the same tome, but can only acompany either of that. Wriggling to get through is the only option. Atop thd view of the old city is great. Second stop was the cloister where you also can ascend to that roof. This time it's oneway only. The view from this roof at the cathedral is amazing.

Very beautiful place, with a stunning view and a lot of things to see. The ticket was also very cheap. Pictures were not allowed in the museum section, which I didn’t care about.

The largest medieval cathedral in Portugal. You can visit the gothic cloister and climb to the terrace, from where you can enjoy a beautiful panorama over the entire city of Évora, since the Cathedral is located at its highest point. *Note - cash only to purchase tickets

Somewhat modest if compared with other cathedrals throughout Europe, it is, nonetheless, very interesting and worth a visit, with the bonus of offering great views around from its rooftop.

This cathedral is an impressive monument of religious architecture. It is the biggest medieval church in Portugal. It was built in the age of transition from romanic to gothic style, compleyely in stone. Additions during later centuries, in different style, gave it a unique appearence. It stands in a small hill, that is a short walk from the central Praca do Giraldo, through atmospheric old Evora building. It is recommend to climb the stairway and go to the roof from where you can admire the whole city. It is well worth the stenuous ascent and the ticket of the visit.

View is amazing since you have a full view of Evora. Tickets were cheap. The stairs were too narrow. There's only one tower where you can use the stairs to go up and down. You won't be able to go upstairs while someone else is coming downstairs. There're many souvenirs machines where you insert money or pay by visa to get a coin where the cathedral is printed on it. I liked my silver coin a lot. I also liked that there's a passage that makes you feel like you're at Hogwarts

Great place. We walked around the town and enjoyed some cheap beers. Very nice town with cool views. The cathedral was great and very unique! FYI - LOTS of stairs to the top for the view BUT worth it!!!!

Loved it. HINTS-Give yourself time to see it all - they start turning off the lights in the Treasury 15-20 mins before closing. You are expected to be OUT by closing time. Also, there are many narrow stairs and some very steep spiral staircase. Keep in mind that people have to go up and down some of the same sections so it can get backed up waiting for slow people or just waiting for your turn. Great views.

The largest of medieval and cathedrals in Portugal with the best example of Gothic architecture, the Evora Cathedral is a World Heritage Site and one of the most important monuments in Evora. It's definitely a must-see place of you're visiting Evora. Make sure to go to the top to enjoy the views of the city. The cost is €5 for adults, €3.50 for seniors.

Must see in Evora! For 4.5 eur/person you get to see the tower/roof/terraces/cloister/church/museum - all impressive, you can spend at least 1h here. And the views from above are beautiful. I found it more interesting and complex to visit than the Mosteiro dos Jerónimos in Belem/Lisbon.

A beautiful place to hike or do trail runs. There are both hilly and flat paths. It is a great park to explore and some of the views are incredible.

The beach was awesome, peaceful and calm. No crowd at all even during morning or evening. It was long beach covered with white sand and . If you love a beach without any crowd around and this is the best place. Not a commercial place and you will not find any hotels, other shops typically that you will find in popular tourist place.

Such a beautiful place with many vistas to take in. Plenty of stops along the road to take in the serene and gorgeous scenery. I was only driving through to have lunch in Setúbal, but I will definitely be back to take in all these beautiful views and stunning beaches. Definitely worth a stop by if you are in the area

Beautiful and amazing view! Definitely one of the place you shouldn't miss. Also cool to go here with your motorcycle 😉

Stunning park in Setubal! Such a massive park you need a few hours to walk the trails and visit. The beaches around Setubal are spectacular! Feels like you're going down south on vacation. The water is clear, not many waves, and the sand is nice and clean!

Parque Natural da Arräbida Es una zonas protegida, que se encuentran ubicada junto al mar, entre Setubal y Sesimbra. Su belleza natural no tiene comparación, grandes acantilados dónde puedes contemplar el azul del mar, su vista hacia Setubal y Troya no tienen igual. La naturaleza es su mayor atractivo. (Translated by Google) Arräbida Natural Park It is a protected area, which is located next to the sea, between Setubal and Sesimbra. Its natural beauty is unmatched, large cliffs where you can contemplate the blue of the sea, its view of Setubal and Troy is unmatched. Nature is its greatest attraction.

Amazing views!!! You can get some lovely drone shots here when it’s less windy!

Lovely park and great place to take pictures, go for a long trail walk and just spend your day! Make sure to bring good shoes with you as you'll need it!

Perfecto lugar para descansar y comer bien. Buenas playas. Excelente atención de todos. (Translated by Google) Perfect place to rest and eat well. Good beaches. Excellent attention from everyone.

One of the most beautiful and peaceful place in Sesimbra/Lisbon district - like a paradise!

Beautiful scenery, peaceful and not busy

If you like beach and hike this is a great place to visit in Portugal. Very hard to get a parking spot but if you don’t mind to walk a bit no problem. There are shuttles all day long for the lazzy ones ;)

Arrábida is always nice, this time I went there to see the sunrise. We stayed on the upper road for a better view and parked at the side of the road. It was very beautiful!

Amazing trails to walk through, a nice drive as well. The scenery is so beautiful that they even film the BMW adverts on those roads 😄 And if you look hard enough you can find trails to really nice secluded beaches ⛱️

Context: visited as a tourist in Jun 2023. Can't speak for other times of the year All round amazing place. Beautiful blue sea lovely sandy beach, and restaurants all around and all just an hour south of Lisbon! Was booked as part of an excursion from TripAdvisor (again highly recommend) nd we arrived before midday. There were still a number of people so would recommend getting early. There were a number of people doing activities including kayaking, swimming, fishing, snorkeling and more. Highly recommend to any other tourists visiting Lisbon.

Great place for a light walk and really good views
